Installing A Flex Bay

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
1. Align the flex bay with the chassis front.
2. Insert the flex bay into the chassis until the tabs click into place.
3. Close the system.
4. If applicable, install the front bezel.

Hard Drives

All hard drives connect to the system board through the hard-drive backplane. Hard drives are supplied in hot-
swappable hard-drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive slots.
CAUTION: Before attempting to remove or install a hard drive while the system is running, see the documentation
for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-swap hard
drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the hard drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a hard
drive failure.
NOTE: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard-drive backplane.
