Mounting a Hard Drive into a Carrier
The server system supports two hot-swap drive carriers in the peripheral bay. Each carrier
houses a standard one-inch high SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive.
CAUTION
To allow proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain
either a carrier with a hard drive installed or a carrier with an air baffle
installed.
To mount a hard drive in a carrier:
1. Remove the hard drive from the protective wrapper and place it on a clean ESD-protected
work surface.
2. Record the model and serial number of the drive in your equipment log
3. Set any jumpers and/or switches on the drive according to the drive manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. If the drive carrier is installed in the drive bay, remove it and place it on a clean static-free
work surface. See Removing a Hard Drive Carrier above for instructions.
5. If you are installing a hard drive into a carrier that did not previously have a drive installed
into it, remove the air baffle. The air baffle is removed by removing the four mounting
screws from the drive rails. See letter “A” in Figure 56. Store the air baffle for future
reinstallation in the event you operate your server without a drive in one of the bays.
6. If you are removing a failed hard drive, remove the four mounting screws that hold the
drive into the carrier.
