2. Installing/removing hot-swap SATA drives
The SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These
hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull
the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SATA drives.
