Removing a Drive from a Drive Carrier
1. Remove the screws that secure the hard drive to the carrier and separate the hard drive
from the carrier.
2. Replace the carrier back into the drive bay.
Hard Drive Carrier Indicators
Each hard drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. In
RAID configurations, the status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID
configurations, the status indicator remains off. See the table below for details.
