Installing SAS Drives in the Enclosure NOTICE: To ensure proper airflow for enclosure cooling, each slot should contain either an active drive or a drive blank. NOTICE: Always wear a wrist grounding strap when handling equipment with static-sensitive components. Perform the following steps to install the new drive into the carrier: 1 If you are replacing a SAS drive in the carrier, remove the four screws that secure the drive to its carrier and remove the drive (see Figure 3-3). 2 Position the replacement drive into the drive carrier with the drive's controller board facing the carrier shield as shown in Figure 3-3. 3 From the rear of the carrier, slide the drive into the carrier until it contacts the stop tab at the front of the carrier. 4 Secure the drive to the carrier using the four screws removed earlier. To avoid damaging the carrier, do not overtighten. 32 Installing Enclosure Components
