Owners Manual

CAUTION: 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.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.

Steps

1 Press the release button on the front of the hard drive to open the release handle.

2 Insert the hard drive into the hard drive slot and slide until the hard drive connects with the backplane.

3 Close the hard drive release handle to lock the hard drive in place.
