Replacing a Hard Drive in a Hard-Drive Carrier

To remove a hard drive from a drive carrier, remove the four screws from the
slide rails on the hard-drive carrier and separate the hard drive from the
carrier.
To install a new hard drive in a drive carrier, perform the following steps:
1 Insert the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end
of the drive at the back. See Figure 3-24.
2 If you are installing a 3.5" drive, align the bottom rear screw hole on the
hard drive with the hole labeled "SAS" on the hard drive carrier.
When aligned correctly, the back of the hard drive will be flush with the
back of the hard-drive carrier.
3 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier.
See Figure 3-24.
