Using both hands (thumbs and forefingers), apply downward pressure firmly and equally across the carrier (see Figure 8). 3. While maintaining downward pressure, slide the drive carrier's top plate toward the back of the drawer until the release button in the center clicks into place (see Figure 9). Note: It is possible for a drive to appear seated but not be fully locked into position, eventually causing it to dislodge itself. After installing a drive, check the release button in the center of the carrier. If the drive is not fully locked into position, a yellow line will be visible underneath the arrow button. If the yellow line is visible, remove the drive and reinstall it. 12

Installing
and
Removing
Disk
Drives
The
proper
insertion
and
seating
of
hard
drives
in
the
chassis
drawers
is
critical
to
the
operation
of
the
array.
For
proper
cooling,
do
not
remove
a
failed
drive
until
it
can
be
replaced
with
another.
Note:
You
should
always
wear
electrostatic
protection
when
handling
a
drive.
See
Hardware
Protection
on
page

.
Install
Disk
Drives
The
3.5-inch
drives
and
2.5-inch
drives
come
preconfigured
in
their
carriers
(DDICs)
and
are
installed
vertically
into
the
top
of
the
open
drawer
with
the
large
arrow
pointing
toward
the
rear
of
the
chassis.
Note:
Installing
a
drive
is
easier
if
you
work
from
the
side
of
the
open
drawer.
1.
Hold
the
drive
by
the
carrier
and
slide
the
drive
most
of
the
way
into
a
slot.
2.
Using
both
hands
(thumbs
and
forefingers),
apply
downward
pressure
firmly
and
equally
across
the
carrier
(see
Figure
8
).
3.
While
maintaining
downward
pressure,
slide
the
drive
carrier's
top
plate
toward
the
back
of
the
drawer
until
the
release
button
in
the
center
clicks
into
place
(see
Figure
9
).
Note:
It
is
possible
for
a
drive
to
appear
seated
but
not
be
fully
locked
into
position,
eventually
causing
it
to
dislodge
itself.
After
installing
a
drive,
check
the
release
button
in
the
center
of
the
carrier.
If
the
drive
is
not
fully
locked
into
position,
a
yellow
line
will
be
visible
underneath
the
arrow
button.
If
the
yellow
line
is
visible,
remove
the
drive
and
reinstall
it.
