164 Installing System Components
Removing a Hard-Drive From a Hard-Drive Carrier
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
CAUTION: Combining SAS and SATA hard-drives in the same sled configuration
is not supported.
CAUTION: Use only hard-drives that have been tested and approved for use with
the SAS/SATA backplane.
CAUTION: When installing a hard-drive carrier, ensure that the adjacent drive is
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: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-
swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating
system.
1 Remove the four screws securing the hard-drive. See Figure 3-15.
2 Lift the hard-drive out of the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3-15.
