Install the Hard-Disk Drives

NOTICE: Install the hard-disk drives in the same drive bays from

which they were removed.

NOTICE: Handle the hard-disk drives with care. The carriers provide

some protection, but the hard-disk drives can be damaged by rough

handling. When installing hard-disk drives, use gentle pressure to

slide them in the drive bays. Insert them slowly; never use force.

To install the hard-disk drives, perform the following steps:

1.

Carefully slide the hard-disk drive into the bay (see Figure 13). When the
hard-disk drive is almost all the way into the bay, the carrier handle flips up.

Figure 13. Installing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive (System Shown with a

Swing-out Lock Bar)

2. Close the handle to draw the drive carrier into the bay and lock the drive in

place.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining hard-disk drives.

4. For a storage system with a silver swing-out lock bar, raise the lock bar to

the lock position. The lock bar slips down into a detent. This holds the lock
bar in the lock position.

If the storage system is in a stand-alone configuration, swing the lock bar
to the left into the lock position. The lock bar slips to the right into a detent.
This holds the lock bar in the lock position.

For a storage system with a black, removable lock bar, place the left end of
the lock bar into its hole in the left side of the front panel. Then, align the
lock bar with the locking mechanism by the keylock (see Figure 14).
