Hard Drives Your system supports up to six 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives. Depending on your chassis, the hard drives are installed internally (see Figure 3-9) or at the front of the system (see Figure 3-7). Internal hard drives are connected to the system board. Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS backplane through hard drive carriers and can be configured as hotswappable. Removing a Drive Blank From the Front Bay CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. 1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 85. 2 Open the drive blank release handle to release the blank. 3 Slide the drive blank out until it is free of the drive bay. Installing a Drive Blank in the Front Bay 1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel." 2 Open the handle on the drive blank. 3 Insert the drive blank into the drive bay until the blank is fully seated. 4 Close the handle to lock the blank in place. Removing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hotswap drive removal and installation. See the documentation provided with your operating system for more information. 1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 85. 2 From the RAID management software, prepare the drive for removal. Wait until the hard-drive indicators on the drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. See your controller documentation for information about hot-swap drive removal. If the drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator will flash as the drive is powered down. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal. 94 Installing System Components
