Removing and Installing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive

Installing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive

NOTICE:

When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully

installed. Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a
partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring
and make it unusable.

NOTICE:

Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the

documentation supplied with your operating system.

1 Remove the bezel. See "Removing and Replacing the Optional Front

Bezel" on page 66.

2 If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a Drive

Blank" on page 109.
