Installing a drive carrier module
Drive carrier configuration
Before you install the drive carrier modules in your E-842R enclosure, see “Planning your
installation” on page 16 for system configuration information.
Installation procedure
To install a drive carrier module:
1 Release the carrier handle by pressing the latch in the handle towards the right, then insert
the carrier into the enclosure.
If the anti-tamper locks have been activated, see “Activating the anti-tamper locks” on
page 27.
2 Gently slide the carrier all the way into the enclosure until it is stopped by the lever on the
right of the carrier.
Caution
All drive bays must have drive carrier modules or dummy carrier modules installed
to maintain a balanced airflow.
Dummy carrier modules are provided for fitting in all unused drive bays. They are designed
as integral drive module front caps and must be installed in all unused drive bays to maintain
a balanced airflow. If you plan to remove a drive for more than a few minutes, we recommend
that you temporarily install a dummy carrier module in its place.
Important
Make sure that the carrier is orientated so that the drive is uppermost and the handle
opens from the left.
Caution
Make sure that the carriers are fully engaged in the enclosure.
