Keep drive carriers paired with slots; preserve fan cage, air baffle and rail kit. Hot-plug labels do not imply drives can be changed without observing controller/RAID and service procedure.
Before transfer or restoration, photograph the complete model label, assembly/board revisions, bay/backplane identifiers and included accessories. Measure the actual specimen when planning installation or shipping; nominal envelope figures may exclude protruding feet, rails, doors or cables.
