Drive Tray Installation

Note:

After the hard drives have been installed into the drive trays. The trays
themselves must be inserted into the EonStor subsystem.

To install the drive trays into the subsystem please follow these instruction.

Figure 13: Drive tray key-lock rotation

Step 1: 

Make sure 

the key-lock is in the 

unlocked position

. The key-lock is 

unlocked if the groove (on its face) is in a 
horizontal orientation. If the groove is in a 
vertical position, as shown in 

Figure 11

 

then the key-lock is locked and the front 
flap on the drive tray cannot be opened.

Step 2: Open the front flap on the drive 
tray

 (see 

Figure 12

) To open the flap, 

push the clip (shown in 

Figure 11

) on the 

front of the drive tray in an upward 
direction. The clip is easily accessible and 
is easily lifted.

Step 3: Line the drive tray up with the 
slot

 in which you wish to insert it. Make 

sure that it is resting on the rails inside the 
enclosure. Once the drive tray is lined up 
with the slot, gently slide it in. This should 
be done smoothly and gently.

Step 4: Close the front flap on the drive 
tray

. Make sure the front flap is closed 

properly. Closing the front flap ensures 
that the SCA connector at the back of the 
drive tray is firmly connected to the 
corresponding connector on the mid-
plane board. If the front flap is not closed 
properly then the connection between the 
HDD and the subsystem will not be secure. 
To lock the flap into place turn the key-
lock until the groove on its face is in a 
vertical orientation. (See 

Figure 13

)

Step 2: 

Once the connectors from the dongle board have been firmly attached to 

the hard drive, 

place the hard drive into the drive tray

 as shown in 

Figure 10

.

Step 3: Adjust the drive's location 

until the mounting holes in the drive canister 

are aligned with those on the hard drive. Secure the drive with 4 supplied 6/32 
flat-head screws.
