The 16 Bay NX3 systems have 4x internal 3.5 inch Data Drives inside the chassis, this article will go over the proper way to replace a drive failure in one of those bays.


  • First locate and unscrew both sides of the middle top cover. Once unscrewed push-in both latches to open the middle cover.

  • Once the cover is off, locate the drive you are going to replace. There should be one screw in front of the drive that needs to be taking out.

  • Once the screw is out gently lift the latch up to loosen up the drive and slide it out.

  • On the back side of the drive tray you just took out should be 4 screws holding the drive in place. You will need to remove the 4 screws and slide the drive out of the tray. Insert the replacement drive and screw in the 4 screws you took out before.

  • Carefully slide the drive back into the server, secure the latch down and screw in the single screw you took out at the start.
  • Put the cover back on and screw it back in place.
