Removing a Hot-swap Drive from a Carrier

To remove a hot-swap drive from a carrier:
1. Remove the carrier and drive from the drive bay.
2. Remove the four screws that secure the drive to the carrier.
3. Place the drive on an antistatic surface.
4. If you are going to reinstall the carrier without a drive, you must first replace
the air baffle in the carrier (Figure 4-25).

Removing and Installing Hot-Swap Disk Drives

Do not leave any drive slots without a drive or air baffle
installed in the carrier. An empty carrier installed in a drive
slot reduces cooling efficiency and can affect performance or
cause damage due to overheating.
To replace a hot-swap disk drive:
1. Depress the green clip at the end of the plastic carrier handle. Pull the handle
out to disengage the carrier handle latch from the locking slot at the top of
the drive bay (Figure 4-27, B and C).
