Installing the Hard Drives
Hard drives are connected to the backplane of the drawers using Disk Drive in Carrier (DDIC) hard drive carriers. The minimum number of drives for an SCv2080 storage system is 28, which is one full, front row in the top drawer and one full, front row in the bottom drawer.

https://manual-hub.com/

Populate each row with identical drives. Do not mix types, speeds, or sizes in a single row.
1. Open the top drawer.
CAUTION: If the storage system operates for too long (depending on altitude) with a drawer open, the storage system may overheat, causing a power failure and data loss. Such use may invalidate the warranty.
a. Push and hold both drawer latches toward the center of the drawer. b. Pull out the drawer all the way until it stops. 2. Populate the first row with 14 drives. Insert each disk drive in carrier (DDIC) into the drawer, one at a time.
CAUTION: To maintain proper airflow, the drawers must be populated with drives in whole rows (there are three rows of 14 drives per drawer).
a. Hold the DDIC vertically and slide it most of the way into the slot. b. Using both hands, apply downward pressure firmly and equally across the
DDIC. c. While maintaining downward pressure on the DDIC, slide the top plate
toward the back of the drawer until it clicks in place.
