Installing a Hard-Drive Carrier CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS/SATA backplane. CAUTION: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard-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: Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating system. CAUTION: Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system configuration is not supported. 1 If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 81. 2 If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a HardDrive Blank" on page 84. 3 Press the release button on the front of the hard-drive carrier and open the handle. 4 Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay until the carrier contacts the backplane. 5 Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock the drive in place.
