Installing System Components

Hard Drives

Your system supports up to four 3.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in a

3.5-inch hot-swappable hard drive carrier. The hard drives are installed at the

front of the system (see Figure 3-1). Hard drives are connected to a SAS

backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-

swappable.

Removing a Hard-Drive Blank

CAUTION:

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must

have drive blanks installed.

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

page 79.

2 Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on the

right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay.

See Figure 3-4.
