With the drive carrier handle open, carefully align the channel on the drive carrier guide rail with the
appropriate drive slot keying feature on the chassis face plate, and insert the drive (see Figure 3-2).
6
Push the drive carrier into the slot until the bottom of the open carrier handle makes contact with the
chassis face plate.

Rotate the carrier handle to the closed position while continuing to push the carrier into the slot.
The status LED indicator (see Table 1-3 for description) will display a steady green if the drive is
inserted properly. If the indicator is not illuminated, see “Troubleshooting SAS and SATA Drives.”
As the drive rebuilds, the drive carrier LED flashes green twice per second at unequal intervals.
NOTE: At least two drives must be installed in the enclosure.
