Installing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive

NOTICE:

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.

NOTICE:

Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the

documentation supplied with your operating system.
