Removing a Hard Drive from a Lever-Release Drive Carrier NOTICE: To prevent data loss, you must shut down the system before removing a drive carrier, unless a SAS controller is connected to the optional SAS backplane. See "Hot-Plug SATA Hard Drives Using the SAS Backplane" on page 61 for information on hot-plug drive requirements and operation. The drive bays in a system with an optional SAS backplane board provides space for up to four optional lever-release hard drives. The hard drives plug into the SAS backplane board, which is connected to the controller card (see Figure 3-12). For instructions on installing the optional SAS backplane board, see "Removing and Installing the Optional SAS Backplane Board" on page 61. 1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 2 Remove the bezel.
