3.4 Chassis Components
Drive Cage
The removable drive cage is accessed by removing the left chassis cover. These drives are
not hot-swappable. Power must be removed from the system before removing or installing
drives. The cage can house up to four drives of either 3.5" or 2.5" (2.5" drives require an
optional bracket: MCP-220-73102-0N).
Removing the Drive Cage
Begin by powering down the system and removing the left cover as previously described.
1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws at the top of the cage that
secure it to the side of the chassis.
2. The drive cage is hooked onto the chassis floor. Slide the drive cage forward so that the
holding studs move into the large release holes.
3. Lift the cage up and out of the chassis.
4. Install or remove drives as described on the next page.
