Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or
swap SAS or SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use 2.5" drives in the SuperServer 2028R-E1CR24L.
The chassis supports 24 hot-swappable hard drives. Only enterprise level SAS or
SATA HDDs are recommended for use in the SC216 chassis.

Hard Drive Installation

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. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in
the chassis.
Removing Hard Drive Trays from the Chassis (Figure 6-5)
1. Press the release button on the drive tray. This extends the drive bay handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier (Figure 6-6)
1. Remove the screws securing the drive tray to the carrier.
2. Remove the tray from the carrier.
3. Install a new drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing
down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
4. Secure the hard drive by tightening all four screws.
5. Use the open handle to replace the drive carrier into the chassis. Make sure
to close the drive carrier handle.
