Note: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain
in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
Warning: Use caution when working around the backplane. Do not touch the back-
plane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or
obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.

Figure 6-6. Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier
Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec-
tor end toward the rear of the carrier.
2. Align the drive in the carrier so that the mounting holes of both are aligned.
Note that the carrier has holes marked "SATA" to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated above. Use the
four M3 flat-head screws included in the HDD bag of the accessory box. Note
that the screws used to secure the dummy drive to the carrier cannot be used
to secure the hard drive.
4. Insert the hard drive and drive carrier into its bay vertically, keeping the carrier
oriented so that the release button is on the bottom. When the carrier reaches
the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.
5. Using the thumb, push against the upper part of the hard drive handle. Push
the hard drive into the hard drive bay as illustrated below, until the hard drive
clicks into the locked position.
