Removing a Hard-Drive Carrier

CAUTION:

Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive

installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating system.

1 If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 75.

2 Prepare the hard drive for removal. Wait until the hard-drive indicators

on the hard-drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. See

your storage controller documentation for information about hot-swap

hard drive removal.
If the hard drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator flashes

as the hard drive is powered down. When the hard-drive indicators are

off, the hard drive is ready for removal. See Figure 1-3.

3 Press the release button and open the hard-drive carrier release handle to

release the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3-6.
