Installing Hard Drives Into Carriers
Installing 3.5" Hard Drives into Hard Drive Carriers
1. With the drive carrier removed from the storage compartment, lift the breakout
lever and pull out the side of the carrier as shown below.
2. Remove the dummy drive from the carrier.
3. Insert the hard drive into the drive carrier, orienting it by matching the align-
ment pins on the side and noting the notch in the carrier for the HDD connec-
tors. Close the side of the carrier until it snaps into place.
4. Slide the carrier assembly into its spot in the chassis until it clicks into the
locked position. Note that each adjacent row of drives faces in the alternate
direction to reduce vibration from the direction of the HDD spin.
