NOTICE:

Do not insert a hard-drive carrier and attempt to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier. Doing so can damage the partially installed

carrier's shield spring and make it unusable. Ensure that the adjacent drive carrier is fully installed.

RAID controller card in expansion slot 5. See
