Step 5: Install the hard drives

After the storage enclosures are secured in the rack, install the hard drives into the drive bays. For a
list of supported hard drives, see the compatibility guide, located on the Technical documentation
page of the MSA1500 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs.
CAUTION: Follow industry-standard practices when handling hard drives. Internal storage media
can be damaged when drives are shaken, dropped, or roughly placed on a work surface. When
installing a hard drive, make sure it is fully seated in the drive bay. To remove a hard drive, press the
release button and pull the drive only slightly out of the enclosure.Then, to allow time for the internal
disk to stop rotating, wait approximately 10 seconds before completely removing the drive from the
enclosure.
NOTE: HP recommends installing hard drives in bay-number sequence. Locate this information for
your storage enclosure in the enclosure documentation.
For information about installing hard drives, see the instructions that came with the hard drive and
the enclosure.
