Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

Hard Drive Installation

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and

removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers

with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airﬂ ow for the drive

bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in

the chassis.

Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier

Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so 1.

that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.2.

Figure 6-3. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier

Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive car-

riers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airﬂ ow.

Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch

the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables

touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airﬂ ow.
