Installing Hot-Swap 3.5" Hard Drives
The SC946 chassis supports sixty 3.5" hard drives in tool less hard drive carriers to simplify
their removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow through the
storage chassis.
Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Power down the system as described in Section 3.1 and open the chassis cover as
described in Section 3.2.
2. Remove hard drives beginning from the center of the storage chassis and working out to
the outer HDDs.
3. Slide the release button on the drive carrier to open the handle.
4. Use the handle to pull the drive carrier up and out of the chassis.
Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and
servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website at
