Installing a Hard Drive
CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with
the SAS/SATA backplane.
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: Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive
installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.
CAUTION: Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system
configuration is not supported.
