Next steps
Replace the drive carrier into the drive bay.
Installing a 3.5-inch drive carrier into the drive bay
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for
the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support drive removal and
insertion.
CAUTION: Combining SAS and SATA drives in the same RAID volume is not supported.
CAUTION: RAID mode does not support entry drives.
CAUTION: When installing a drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a drive carrier
and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's
shield spring and make it unusable.
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the
documentation supplied with your operating system.
CAUTION: When a replacement hot swappable drive is installed and the system is powered on, the drive
automatically begins to rebuild. Ensure that the replacement drive is blank or contains data that you want to
overwrite. Any data on the replacement drive is immediately lost after the drive is installed.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure that is listed in Before working inside your system.
Steps
Align and slide the drive carrier into the drive bay until it clicks into place.
