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 through the drive bays.
Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Pull the storage enclosure forward out of the chassis.
2. Slide the release button on the drive carrier, which opens the carrier handle.
3. Use the drive carrier handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
