Disk drives are housed in device carriers to allow for easy insertion and removal. 
When hot swapping a disk drive care must be taken as the disk drive is still spin-
ning. You must make sure that adequate shock precautions are complied with.

To remove a disk drive follow this procedure:

1.

Insert the carrier key and turn it to the left.

2.

With one hand press the ejection button on the front of the disk drive carrier.

3.

With the ejection button still pressed grasp the carrier handle and slowly pull 
the disk drive out. Use both hands to support the weight of the disk drive.

To install a disk drive follow this procedure:

1.

With the Storage Array in a rackmount, horizontal position, orient the disk 
drive carrier so that the LEDs are on the top and the ejection button is on the 
bottom (left and right, respectively, for vertical, upright Array position).

2.

Insert the disk drive carrier into any of the bays 0 through 6 of the Storage 
Array (see Figure 5-1).

3.

Insert the carrier key and turn it to the left.

4.

Push the carrier into the bay until you feel the disk drive engage the back-
plane and the ejection button on the front is fully protruded. If the button is 
not fully protruded, apply additional pressure to the front of the carrier until 
it is.
