Removing a hard drive carrier

The installation and removal procedures for the 3.5-inch hard drive and the 2.5-inch hard drive are similar.

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.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
