Install Drives

NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so 
voids the drive warranty.

As shipped, the first four bays are empty and the remaining 
bays have blank drive carriers in them. Once the unit is in the 
rack, install the drives before continuing:

1.

If a 

blank drive carrier 

is in the bay where you are about 

to install a drive, remove the blank by pressing the lever 
release button and pulling it out.
Save the blank for possible future use.

2.

Press the 

button

 to release the lever on a drive assembly.

3.

Position the 

drive assembly

 in front of an empty bay and 

slide it in until resistance is felt.

4.

Push the 

lever in

 to lock the assembly in the bay.

5.

Repeat 

Steps 1–4

 for 

each

 remaining drive assembly.

IMPORTANT:  To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive 
assembly or a blank drive carrier must be installed in 

every

 

bay. Leave drive blanks in bays not used; no empty bays are allowed.

Attach the Bezel

1.

Insert the 

bezel tab

 into the chassis left flange hole under 

the Front Panel Display.

2.

Push the 

latch 

toward the bezel center, swing the right 

side of the bezel into place, and release the latch.

Step 4 – Attach Cables and Power Cords

Head Unit Connections

IMPORTANT:  For best results, on the head unit connect Master 
controller to Master controller and Secondary controller to 

Secondary controller.

NOTE: Additional E1000s can be daisy-chained off the first array. 
Up to four (4) expansion arrays can be attached to the head unit.

Use these steps to connect the first SnapDisk E1000 expansion 
array added:

1.

Plug a supplied 

SAS cable 

into the S1000 head unit’s 

SAS 

expansion port

 on the Master controller (in bay CL1).

2.

Plug the other end into the E1000 expansion array’s 

In 

port

 on the Master connector.

3.

For a dual-controller head unit, plug the other supplied 

SAS cable 

into the S1000 head unit’s 

SAS expansion 

port

 on the Secondary controller (in bay CL2).

4.

Plug the other end into the E1000 expansion array’s 

In 

port

 on the Secondary connector.
