Dell Storage MD1420 Enclosures Hardware Owner's Manual
Installing a hard disk drive
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 came with the product.
CAUTION: : Use only hard disk drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS backplane.
CAUTION: : When installing a hard disk drive, ensure that the adjacent hard disk drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard disk 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.
- If applicable, remove the front bezel. See Removing the front bezel.
- If applicable, remove the hard disk drive blank from the bay. See Removing a hard disk drive blank.
- Press the release button to open the hard disk drive carrier release handle.
- Insert the hard disk drive carrier into the hard disk drive bay until the carrier connects the backplane.
- Close the handle to lock the hard disk drive in place.
