CAUTION: To maintain proper airflow, the drawers must be populated with drives in whole
rows (each drawer has three rows of 14 drives). The number of populated rows between
drawers must not differ by more than one. Populate the rows from the front to the rear of the
drawer.
a. Hold the drive by the DDIC and slide it most of the way into the slot.
b. Using both hands (thumbs and forefingers), apply downward pressure firmly and equally across
the DDIC.

c. While maintaining downward pressure, slide the top plate of the DDIC toward the back of the
drawer until it clicks into place.
