Dell PowerEdge R6525 Installation and Service Manual

Installing the drive carrier

Prerequisites

CAUTION:Before removing or installing a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support drive removal and insertion.

CAUTION:Combining SAS and SATA drives in the same RAID volume is not supported.

CAUTION:When installing a drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a 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.

NOTE:When a replacement hot swappable drive is installed while the system is powered on, the drive automatically begins to rebuild. Ensure that the replacement drive is blank. Any data on the replacement drive is immediately lost once the drive is installed.

NOTE:Ensure that the drive carrier's release handle is in the open position before inserting the carrier into the slot.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
If installed, remove the front bezel.
Remove the drive carrier or remove the drive blank when you want to assemble the drives in to the system.

Steps

Slide the drive carrier into the drive slot.
Close the drive carrier release handle to lock the drive in place.
