When you are installing drives in the Avid AirSpeed 5000, begin the installation at the bottom of
a column of drives. Make sure the first drive you install is level and flat as you insert it into the
server.

Do not force a drive into a slot. If you are having problems installing a drive, check to make
sure it is level and flat as you insert it into the server, that the drive carrier latch is open and
at a 45 degree angle to the drive carrier, and that the LEDs are on the bottom of the drive
carrier.
5. Slide the drive into the open drive slot in the Avid AirSpeed 5000 server until it stops.
Approximately 1/2 inch of the drive carrier should be outside the server.
6. Push the handle into the drive carrier. This seats the drive in the Avid AirSpeed 5000. You’ll
hear a click when the drive is fully seated and the handle latches in place.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the remaining drives.
