Dell PowerEdge R230 Owner's Manual

Installing a hot swappable hard drive carrier

Prerequisites

CAUTION: : Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard drive 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: : To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.

CAUTION: : When a replacement hot swappable drive is installed and the system is powered on, the drive automatically begins to rebuild. Ensure that the replacement drive is blank or contains data that you wish to overwrite. Any data on the replacement drive is immediately lost after the drive is installed.

NOTE: : Hot swappable hard drives are supplied in hot swappable hard drive carriers that fit in the hard drive slots.

If installed, remove the front bezel.
If installed, remove the hard drive carrier blank.
Install a hot swappable hard drive into the hot swappable hard drive carrier.

Steps

Insert the hot swappable hard drive carrier into the hard drive slot, and push the hot swappable hard drive carrier until it comes in contact with the backplane.
Close the hot swappable hard drive carrier handle to lock the hot swappable hard drive carrier in place.
