Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier
1. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier, by removing
the screws securing the dummy drive to the carrier. Note that these screws cannot be
reused on the actual 2.5" hard drive.
2. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end
toward the rear of the carrier.
3. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up.
4. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws. These screws are included in the
chassis accessory box.
5. Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the release button
is on the bottom side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle
will retract.
6. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position.
Warning: Except for short periods of time (swapping hard drives), do not operate the server
with the hard drives empty.
