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.
To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive
installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.
When a replacement hot swappable hard drive is installed and the system is
powered on, the hard drive automatically begins to rebuild. Ensure that the
replacement hard drive is blank or contains data that you wish to overwrite. Any
data on the replacement hard drive is immediately lost after the hard drive is
installed.
1. Follow all safety guidelines.
2. If applicable, remove the hard drive blank.
Procedure
1. Press the release button on the front of the hard drive to open the release
handle.
2. Insert the hard drive into the hard drive slot and slide until the hard drive
connects with the backplane.
3. Close the hard drive release handle to lock the hard drive in place.
