Removing the Drives
The following instructions guide the user in removing the drive carrier
assemblies to minimize weight during rack installation.
Drive Carrier Assemblies
A drive carrier assembly consists of the drive carrier and a 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe
SSD or drive blank. Drive carriers provide for controlled installation and removal
of the drives into and out of the VSS2249RQ Storage Server. The drive carrier
handle ensures complete seating of the connectors through typical operational
shock and vibration by camming the drive carrier assembly into the drive bay.
The following instructions guide the user in removing the drive carrier assembly
from the enclosure to minimize enclosure weight. Removal of a drive or drive
blank from the drive carrier is not necessary. Figure 4.2 shows the front of the
enclosure with an extended drive carrier assembly.
