1.
Installing/removing hot-plug SCSI drives:
The five SCSI drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the
chassis. The SCSI drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed
and installed without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, first
push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Swing the colored
handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug
capability of the SCSI drives.
2.
Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also work to promote
proper airflow for the system.
SCSI drives must remain in the server. If you need to add a new SCSI
drive, insert the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side
facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws.
