Removing and installing hot-swap disk drives

Important: 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 install a hot-swap disk drive

1

Depress the green clip at the end of the plastic carrier handle.

2

Pull the handle out to disengage the carrier handle latch from the
locking slot at the top of the drive bay.
