Installing a storage sled
Prerequisites
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the I/O connectors, do not touch the connectors or the connector pins.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the sled locks, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to turn the sled locks to lock or
unlock positions.
NOTE: Install the storage sleds in the bottom slots of the PowerEdge FX2s enclosure, beginning from the left (slot 3). In
the four-bay chassis, you can also install a storage sled in the top right slot (slot 2) of the enclosure. For more information
on sled slot numbering, see the Dell PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s Enclosure Owner's Manual at Dell.com/
poweredgemanuals.
NOTE: If your storage sled has shipped pre-installed in the enclosure, it is recommended that you remove the sled before
installing the enclosure in the rack, to reduce chassis weight.
NOTE: If you are installing the storage sled in an enclosure that is already powered on, you need not turn off the enclosure
to install the storage sled. Only the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped must be turned off.
1. Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.
2. Turn off the compute sled to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the CMC, iDRAC, or the power button on the
compute sled.
3. Keep the #2 Phillips screwdriver ready.
Steps
1. If you are installing a new storage sled, remove the I/O connector cover and save for future use.
2. Align the storage sled with the bay in the enclosure.
CAUTION:
To ensure that a storage sled is properly installed, slide the sled into the enclosure bay until the
dotted line on top of the storage sled is not visible from the top edge of the bay in which the storage sled is
being installed.
CAUTION: If a compute sled is already installed in an enclosure bay above the bay in which you are installing
a storage sled, the compute sled may obscure the dotted line on the storage sled. Do not use the compute
sled installed in the top enclosure bay as a point of reference for visibility of the dotted line on top of the
storage sled. For the storage sled to be properly installed, ensure that the dotted line on the storage sled is
not visible from the top edge of the bay in which the storage sled is installed.
3. Slide the storage sled into the enclosure until the dotted line on top of the sled is not visible from the top edge of the bay,
and the sled clicks into place.
4. Turn the storage sled locks to the lock position, to secure the sled in the enclosure.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the sled locks are in locked position before opening the storage sled drive drawer, as
the storage sled must be locked in the enclosure before you open the drive drawer.
