Figure 24. Removing a drive carrier
Next steps
Replace the drive or a drive blank.
Installing the drive carrier
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Before removing or installing 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: 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.
NOTE: Ensure that the drive carrier's release handle is in the open position before inserting the carrier into the slot.
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 wish 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. Remove the front bezel.
3. Remove the drive carrier or remove the drive blank when you want to assemble the drives in to the system.
Steps
1. Slide the drive carrier into the drive slot and push until the drive connects with the backplane.
2. Close the drive carrier release handle to lock the drive in place.
