SATA Drive Installation
These drives are mounted in carriers to simplify their installation and removal from
the chassis. The carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drives. For this
reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the chassis.
Removing a Drive Carrier
1. Push the release button located beside the drive's LEDs.
2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see
Figure 6-3).
Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. To add a new SATA drive, install the drive into the carrier with the printed
circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in
the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the drives.
