Figure 3-3. Removing the Dummy Drive
Installing a Hard Drive
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end
toward the rear of the carrier. Align the mounting holes of both. Note that there are holes
in the carrier marked "SAS" or “SATA” to aid in correct installation.
2.
Secure the drive to the carrier with M3 flat-head screws included in the HDD bag of your
accessory box. Note that the screws used to secure the dummy drive to the tray cannot
be used to secure the hard drive.
3. Insert the hard drive and drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that
the release button is on the bottom. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the
release handle will retract.
4. Using the thumb, push against the upper part of the drive handle until the carrier clicks
into the locked position.
