Install a Hard Drive
Use this procedure to install a hard drive in the expansion enclosure.
About this task
Do not drop the hard drive into the slot. Dropping the hard drive into the slot might damage the drive and the drive interface backplane,
which requires a full chassis replacement to repair.
CAUTION: A drive must be replaced within 10 minutes of extending the expansion enclosure from the rack.
Steps
1 Open the latch on the drive carrier.
2 Align the drive with the guides and gently lower the disk into the slot.
The latch begins to close when the drive carrier meets the backplane.
3 Push down on the latch tab to engage the latch.
