Installing hot swappable hard drive
Prerequisites
1 Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2 Complete the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.
NOTE: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard drive backplane.
NOTE: Combining SAS and SATA hard drives in the same RAID volume is not supported.
NOTE: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard drive carrier and
attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make
it unusable.
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation
supplied with your operating system.
CAUTION: When a replacement hot swappable hard drive is installed and the system is powered on, the hard drive automatically
begins to rebuild. Make absolutely sure that the replacement hard drive is blank or contains data that you wish to have over-
written. Any data on the replacement hard drive is immediately lost after the hard drive is installed.
Steps
1 Align the HDD to the HDD tray.
