1.14.1 3.5” Hot-swap Hard Drive Carrier
Each hard drive must be mounted to a hot-swap drive carrier, making insertion and extraction of
the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive carrier has its own dual-purpose latching
mechanism used to both insert and extract drives from the chassis and lock the carrier in place.
Each drive carrier supports a light pipe providing a drive status indicator, located on the
backplane, to be viewable from the front of the chassis.
The 3.5” hot-swap hard drive carrier has a 2.5” HDD interface bracket pre-installed. The 2.5”
HDD interface bracket is used to install the 2.5” hard drive on the 3.5” hot-swap hard drive
carrier. When a 3.5” hard drive is to be installed, the 2.5” HDD interface bracket should be
removed.
