Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with

the SAS/SATA backplane.

CAUTION:

Not all operating systems support hot-swappable hard drive

installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system for more
information.

CAUTION:

Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system

configuration is not supported.

outward, and remove the carrier from the drive bay.

3 Install the hard drive carrier on the hard drive.

drive carrier.

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