Removing and Installing Physical Disks

Your enclosure supports up to 15 SAS 3.0-Gbps physical disks, each one
contained in its individual disk carrier. Physical disks are connected directly to
the enclosure midplane and are hot-pluggable, allowing you to remove and
insert disks without shutting down your enclosure.

This section describes how to remove and install physical disks in your storage
array.

NOTICE:

Extra care must be taken when handling and storing the physical disks.

The carriers provide some protection, but the disks and carrier connectors can be
damaged by rough handling. When removing the physical disks from the enclosure,
place them on a padded surface. Never drop the disks.
