Removing and Installing Drives

Your enclosure supports up to 15 SAS or SATA 3.0-Gbps drives, each one contained in its individual drive

carrier. Each drive is hot-pluggable, allowing you to remove and insert drives without shutting down your

enclosure.
This section describes how to remove and install drives in your storage enclosure.

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the enclosure cover and access any of the

components inside the enclosure. Before performing any procedure, see your

Product Information Guide

for

complete information about safety precautions, working inside the enclosure and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE:

Extra care must be taken when handling and storing the drives. The carriers provide some protection, but

the drives and carrier connectors can be damaged by rough handling. When removing the drives from the

enclosure, place them on a padded surface. Never drop the drives.
