SATA Drive Installation
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drives. For this reason, even empty
carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the chassis.
Mounting a SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. To add a new SATA drive, install the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side
facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Installing/Removing Hot-swap SATA Drives

2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see Figure 6-4).
