2.7.1 Installing a hot-swap SATA/SCSI
hard disk drive
If you purchased an AS8, AS4, or AA4 configured model, follow these
instructions to install a hot-swap SATA or SCSI hard disk drive (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 when you are ready to install
a hard disk in the drive tray.
