Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or
swap SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use 2.5" drives in the 2028R-ACR24H.
The chassis supports 24 hot-swappable hard drives. Only enterprise level SATA
drives are recommended for use in the system.
Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Press the release button on the drive tray. This extends the drive bay handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the tray out of the chassis.
Warning: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro
website at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/files/storage/SBB-HDDCompList.

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.
