Removing and Installing Hot-Swap Disk Drives
CAUTION
Do not leave any drive slots without a drive or air baffle installed in the carrier. An empty
carrier installed in a drive slot reduces cooling efficiency and can affect performance or cause
damage due to overheating.
To replace a hot-swap disk drive:
1. Depress the green clip at the end of the plastic carrier handle. Pull the handle out to
disengage the carrier handle latch from the locking slot at the top of the drive bay.
2. Carefully pull on the carrier handle and slide the carrier out of the bay.
3. Install a new drive into the carrier .
4. Hold the carrier handle in the fully open position and slide the carrier into the desired
bay.
5. Push the carrier into the drive bay until the carrier handle latch engages the locking slot
in the edge of the drive bay.
6. Push the handle closed until it clicks into position.
