Mounting A Hard Disk Drive In A Carrier - Intel SR870BN4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Mounting a Hard Disk Drive in a Carrier

The server supports three hot-swap drive carriers in the peripheral bay. Each carrier houses a
standard one-inch high SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive.
CAUTION
To allow proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain either
a carrier with a hard drive installed or a carrier with an air baffle installed.
To mount a hard drive in a carrier:
1. Remove the hard disk drive from the protective wrapper and place it on a clean ESD-protected
work surface.
2. Record the model and serial number of the drive in your equipment log (Appendix B
Equipment Log and Configuration Worksheet).
3. Set any jumpers and/or switches on the drive according to the drive manufacturer's
instructions.
4. If the drive carrier is installed in the drive bay, remove it and place it on a clean static-free work
surface.
5. Remove the air baffle (A in Figure 107 from the drive carrier by removing the four screws (B
in Figure 107) from the slide track (C in Figure 107).
6. Store the air baffle for future reinstallation in the event the server must be operated without a
drive in one of the bays.
