Installing a SAS Hard Drive Into a SATAu Drive Carrier
NOTE:
SAS hard drives must be installed only in SATAu drive carriers. The SATAu
drive carrier is labeled "SATAu" and also has marks indicating the SAS and SATA
mounting screws.

end of the drive at the back. See Figure 3-5.

hole on the hard drive with the hole labeled "SAS" on the hard drive carrier.
When aligned correctly, the back of the hard drive will be flush with the
back of the hard drive carrier.
