Installing a drive
About this task
NOTE:If you are installing multiple drives in a system that is powered up, wait at least 10 seconds before sliding the next drive into position.
NOTE:Drives must be installed from left-to-right starting with the first available slot.
Steps
- Align the drive with the guides in the slot.
- With the latch fully opened, gently push the drive into the slot.
The latch begins to rotate downward when it meets the enclosure.
- Push the orange button until the drive is fully seated in the slot.
- Push the latch down until it locks into place.
