SuperStorage Server SSG-6049P-E1CR60H/L/L+ User's Manual
Installing Hard Drives Into Carriers
1. With the drive carrier removed from the storage compartment, lift the breakout lever and
pull out the side of the carrier as shown below.
2. Remove the dummy drive from the carrier.
3. Insert the hard drive into the drive carrier, orienting it by matching the alignment pins on
the side and noting the notch in the carrier for the HDD connectors. Close the side of
the carrier until it snaps into place.
4. Slide the carrier assembly into its spot in the chassis until it clicks into the locked
position. Note that each adjacent row of drives faces in the alternate direction to reduce
vibration from the direction of the HDD spin.
Caution: Except for short periods of time, such as swapping hard drives, do not operate the
server with the hard drive bays empty.
