Installing 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SAS HDD
The ESC4000 G3S system supports hot-swap 2.5-inch SATA/SAS hard disk drives. The hard
disk drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard SATA/SAS ports via the
SATA/SAS backplane.
3. Release the screws on each side of the
drive tray to release the drive tray metal
