Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier

  1.  

Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end toward the rear of the carrier.

  1.  

Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up. Note that there are holes in the carrier marked “SATA” to aid in correct installation.

  1.  

Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated below.

  1.  

Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.

  1.  

Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position.

Hard Drives
The SC418G supports a total of 24 hard disk drives, which are mounted in drive carriers
and reside within the hard drive bays. These drives are hot-swappable and can be removed
or replaced without powering down the chassis. Enterprise NVMe, SAS or SATA HDDs only
are recommended.
Removing Hard Drives and their Carriers from the Hard Drive Bays

  1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.

  1. Use the handle to pull the drive and its carrier out of the chassis.
