Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard
drive backplane.
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.
Mixing hard drive carriers from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not
supported.
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.
Procedure
1. Lift the hard carrier handle.
2. If a hard drive blank is installed in the hard drive slot, remove it.
3. Insert the hard drive carrier into the hard drive tray.
4. Lower the hard drive carrier handle to engage the hard drive to the connector
on the backplane and lock the hard drive in place.
