Mounting a Hard Disk Drive in a Carrier

The rx4610 server supports a maximum of two host swap drive carriers. Each carrier can house a standard
one inch high by three and half inch wide SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive. The drives are shipped mounted in
the carrier. If the drive must be mounted in the carrier, it uses four screws. This arrangement allows for
easy installation and removal of hard drives.
To mount a hard drive to a carrier, follow these steps:
Remove the 3.5-inch hard disk drive from the protective wrapper, and place it on an antistatic
surface.
Record the model and serial numbers of the drive in your equipment log.
Orient the drive carrier so that the handle is toward your left and the metal EMI/ESD fingers are
toward your right.
Orient the drive so that both the following are true:
The drive's label faces away from the carrier heatsink, toward the carrier fingers
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
The drive's connector faces away from the carrier handle
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
CAUTION
5. Position the drive in the end of the carrier away from the handle, then slide the drive toward the
handle.
6. Place the drive and carrier assembly on an antistatic surface of a table or a workbench so that
the drive handle and fingers overlap the edge of the table or the workbench.
7. Using four screws of the appropriate size and length (not supplied), attach the carrier to the
drive.
