Installing a Hard Drive
1. Slide the catch on the front of the hard drive to the right (FIGURE 3-5).
This releases the handle on the front of the hard drive. The lever must be open before
you insert the hard drive into the server. If the lever is closed, the hard drive will not
engage with the server correctly.
2. Slide the hard drive into its bay at the front of the server.
Push the drive in firmly until the metal lever starts to close. This indicates that the
hard drive has engaged with its connector in the server.
3. Push the metal lever until the drive clicks into place.
