Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive 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 your operating system. CAUTION: Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system configuration is not supported. 1 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 90. 3 Install the hot-swap hard drive into the hard-drive carrier. See "Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive Into a Drive Carrier" on page 95. 4 With the handle on the hard-drive carrier open, slide the hard drive into the drive bay until the carrier contacts the backplane. 5 Push in on the hard-drive carrier and rotate the handle up until it snaps into place. 6 Replace the front bezel.
