Replacing a Hard Drive in a Hard-Drive Carrier
To remove a SAS hard drive from a drive carrier, remove the four screws from the slide rails on the hard-
drive carrier and separate the hard drive from the carrier.
To install a SAS hard drive in a drive carrier, perform the following steps:
NOTE:
SAS hard drives must be installed only in SAS/SATAu drive carriers. The SAS/SATAu drive carrier has
marks indicating the SAS and SATA mounting screws.
1 Insert the SAS hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end of the drive at the rear.
See Figure 1-4.
2 Viewing the assembly as shown in Figure 1-4, align the bottom rear screw hole on the hard drive
with the hole labeled "SAS" on the hard drive carrier.
When aligned correctly, the rear of the hard drive will be flush with the rear of the hard-drive carrier.
3 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 1-4.
