Removing and Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive

Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive

CAUTION:

Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with

the SAS/SATA backplane.

CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive

installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating system.

CAUTION:

Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system

configuration is not supported.
