NOTICE: Do not insert a hard-drive carrier and attempt to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier. Doing so can damage the partially installed

carrier's shield spring and make it unusable. Ensure that the adjacent drive carrier is fully installed.

NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.
