Expansion Hard-Drive Carrier
An expansion hard-drive carrier mounts two 2.5-inch SSD hard-drive carriers.
There are two ways to remove the 2.5-inch SSD hard-drive, you can remove
the SSD hard-drive directly from the sled (see "Removing a SSD Hard-Drive
Carrier" on page 44) or remove the expansion hard-drive carrier holding the
two SSD hard-drives (see "Removing an Expansion Hard-Drive Carrier" on
page 42).

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and

CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
CAUTION: Use only hard-drives that have been tested and approved for use with
the hard-drive backplane.
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-
swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating
system.
