Installing a Hard Drive into a Hard-Drive Carrier 
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You 
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your 
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and 
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not 
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with 
the product. 
1  Place the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3-6. 
2  Secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier with four screws. See 
Figure 3-6. 
Power Supplies 
NOTE: The following table lists the maximum supported configuration where 
power supply redundancy is guaranteed. 
NOTE: Configurations higher than indicated in the table may change the 
power supply mode to non-redundant. In non-redundant mode if the power 
requirement exceeds the installed system power capacity, the BIOS will 
throttle the processors. Also, if Processor Power Capping is enabled, then 
processor throttling occurs on configurations that exceed the cap value. 
NOTE: Both of these two PSUs are swappable, and they can support hot 
swap in any condition if system has power throttling feature.
