Removing a hot-plug SATA/SAS drive assembly
This procedure assumes the hot-plug SATA/SAS backplane is already installed. See the "Installing the hot-plug
SATA/SAS backplane" section described on page 26 for more details.
To remove a hot-plug SATA/SAS drive assembly from the server:
1. Push the button on the front of the HDD carrier you want to remove to release the carrier latch, then pull the
carrier latch to its open position.
2. Remove the hot-plug drive assembly from the chassis.
Installing a hot-plug SATA/SAS drive assembly
This procedure assumes the hot-plug SATA/SAS backplane is already installed. See the "Installing the hot-plug
SATA/SAS backplane" section described on page 26 for more details.
To install a hot-plug SATA/SAS drive assembly in the server:
1. Prepare the HDD bay for installation:
If you are replacing a currently installed hot-plug drive with a hot-plug drive option pre-installed in an
HDD carrier, perform the procedure in the "Removing a hot-plug SATA/SAS drive assembly" section on
page 24.
Because the new hot-plug hard drive is pre-installed in an HDD carrier, you do not need to reuse the
HDD carrier that you are removing from the server.
If you are replacing a currently installed hot-plug drive with a SATA or SAS drive that is not pre-
installed in an HDD carrier, perform the procedure in the "Replacing a hot-plug SATA or SAS hard
drive" section on page 25.
If the HDD bay contains a blank drive carrier, squeeze the two center tabs on the bezel toward each
other, then remove the carrier from the chassis.
2. If the carrier latch on the HDD carrier you want to install is not already open, push the button on the front of
the HDD carrier, then pull the carrier latch to its open position.
3. Align the hot-plug drive assembly with the open drive bay and push the assembly into the drive bay until it
stops.

The metal tab at the front of the HDD bay should fit inside the notch in the hinge of the carrier latch.
