Installing a hard drive into a hard drive carrier

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

  2. Remove the hard drive carrier from the system.
  3. If installed, remove the hard drive blank. The procedure for removing a blank is the same as removing a hard drive carrier.
  4. Keep the Phillips #2 screwdriver ready.

Steps

  1. Place the hard drive into the hard drive carrier.
  2. Secure the hard drive to the hard drive carrier with screws.

  2. To check the status of the hard drive, see the hard drive activity and status indicators.
