Installing Hard Drives

The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays.
Caution: Except for short periods of time, such as swapping hard drives, do not
operate the server with the hard drive bays empty.
