Installing a hard drive/SSD
Prerequisites
CAUTION: When a replacement hot-swappable hard drive/SSD is installed and the sled is
powered on, the hard drive/SSD automatically begins to rebuild. Make absolutely sure that the
replacement hard drive/SSD is blank or contains data that you wish to have over-written. Any
data on the replacement hard drive/SSD is immediately lost after the hard drive/SSD is installed.
NOTE: You must remove a hard drive/SSD to upgrade a hard drive/SSD or replace a faulty hard
drive/SSD.
1. Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.
2. Remove the hard drive/SSD or hard drive/SSD blank.
NOTE: All operating systems do not support hot-swappable drive installation. See the
documentation supplied with your operating system.
Steps
1. Press the release button to open the hard drive/SSD carrier handle.
2. Slide the hard drive/SSD carrier into the drive bay. Carefully align the channel on the hard drive/SSD
carrier with the appropriate drive slot on the sled.
3. Push the drive carrier into the slot until the handle makes contact with the sled.
4. Rotate the carrier handle to the closed position while pushing the carrier into the slot until it locks
into place.
