Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives.
Proceed to the next section for instructions.
Peripheral Drives: The SC818G chassis includes space for a variety of peripheral
drive options, including a 2.5" hard disk drive, DVD-ROM or fl oppy drive. For a
complete listing of peripheral drive options, visit the Supermicro web site at:

Hard Drive Installation
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for
the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier
handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.
