Chassis Bays Intel® Storage Server SSR212MC2 Figure 14: Hard Disk Drive Bays 4.1.1 Hard Disk Drive Carrier Each hard drive used in the system must be mounted to a drive carrier, making insertion and extraction of the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own dual purpose latching mechanism that is used to both insert/extract drives from the chassis and lock the carrier in place, and also has a safety locking mechanism to aid in the prevention of accidental removal of a drive. After the drive is inserted and latched, the locking feature is enabled by rotating the locking mechanism using the provided Torx* or "star" bit tool, such that the latch can not be depressed to remove the drive. To remove the drive, turn the locking mechanism until the latch can be depressed to remove the drive. Each drive carrier also supports a light pipe providing a drive status indicator, located on the backplane, to be viewable from the front of the chassis. 24 Revision 1.2
