Dell PowerEdge Systems — Installing the External Drive Bay

Installing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive in the External

Drive Bay

To install a SCSI hard-disk drive in the external drive bay, use the following procedure:

Locate the four mounting holes on each side of the external drive bay. Align a rail

bracket with the set of holes that, when the rail is installed, places the rail closer

to the front of the external drive bay.

Secure a rail bracket to the left and right sides of the external drive bay using the

screws provided (see Figure 1-1).

Attach the hard-disk drive to the drive carrier.

With the drive carrier laying flat, place the hard-disk drive right-side up on the

carrier with the front of the drive directly behind the carrier handle and the

drive connector on the end of the carrier.

Secure the hard-disk drive to the drive carrier with four screws inserted

through the sides of the carrier.

Align the edge of the drive carrier with the notches in the drive bay assembly and

slide the carrier into the assembly as shown in Figure 1-1.
