Replacing a Hard Drive in a Hard-Drive Carrier

To remove a hard drive from a drive carrier, remove the four screws from the slide rails on the hard-drive
carrier and separate the hard drive from the carrier.

To install a new hard drive in a drive carrier, perform the following steps:

1 Insert the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end of the drive at the back. See

Figure 3-19.

2 Viewing the assembly as shown in Figure 3-19, align the bottom rear screw hole on the hard drive

with the hole labeled "SAS" on the hard drive carrier.

When aligned correctly, the back of the hard drive will be flush with the back of the hard-drive carrier.

3 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3-19.
