Once the hard drives have been installed in the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into 

the subsystem.

1.

Make sure that the hard drive is secured to the drive tray. Make sure the key-lock is in the 

unlocked position. The key-lock is unlocked if the groove on its face is in a horizontal ori-

entation. If the groove is in a vertical position, as shown in Figure 3.3, then the key-lock is 

locked and the front flap on the drive tray cannot be opened.

2.

Open the front flap on the drive tray. (See Figure 3.4). To open the flap, push the release 

button on the front bezel. The front flap will open in an upward direction.

3.

Align the drive tray with the slot in which you wish to insert it. Make sure that it is resting 

on the rails inside the module slot. Once the drive tray is lined up with the slot, gently 

slide it in. This should be done smoothly and gently.

4.

Close the front flap on the drive tray. Make sure the front flap is closed properly. Closing 

the front flap ensures that the drive tray is firmly connected to the corresponding connec-

tor on the backplane board. If the front flap is not closed properly, the connection 

between the HDD and the subsystem will not be secure. DO NOT slam the drive tray into 

place! The connector pins might be damaged. If the front flap is not closed properly, the 

connection between the hard drive and the subsystem will not be secure.

5.

Lock the flap into place by turning the key-lock until the groove on its face is pointing 

down (vertical orientation). (See Figure 3.5)

All drive trays must be installed into the enclosure even if they do not contain a hard drive. If 

the trays are not installed into the enclosure, the ventilation required for cooling will be dis-

turbed and the subsystem will overheat.
