2.7.1 Installing a hot-swap SATA hard disk drive
To install a SATA HDD:
1. Open the front bezel to access
the hot-swap drive trays.
2. Release a drive tray by pushing
the spring lock to the right, then
pulling the tray lever outward.
The drive tray ejects slightly after
you pull out the lever.
3. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull
the drive tray out of the bay.
4. An empty drive tray requires a metal bracket for support. Use a Phillips
(cross) screwdriver to remove the bracket if you wish to install a hard
disk in the drive tray.
