latch

 until it clicks, 

locking the assembly in the bay.

Repeat 

Steps 2–4

 for 

each

 

remaining drive carrier.

Attach the Bezel

1.

Position the 

bezel

 with the top and bottom edges aligned with the slots on the 

front of the appliance.

2.

Push the 

bezel

 onto the unit until the retaining clips on the ends latch and the 

bezel snaps into place.

3.

Verify that the bezel is 

aligned

 properly with all the LEDs visible and the Power 

Panel on the left side is in line with the hole on the bezel flange.

Step 4

Cable Attachment

All cabling, power connections, and cooling vents are located on the rear panel of the 
unit.

1.

Power OFF the 

system

 (XS-series head unit and its expansion units).

2.

Connect the 

SAS cable

 that came with the SnapExpansion to the upper rear port 

(IN). 

Connect the 

other end

 to either the

 XS-series head unit or a previously 

installed SnapExpansion (upstream).
On an “upstream” SnapExpansion, connect the cable to the lower rear port (OUT). 
For an XSR 40 appliance, the optional PCIe SAS card must be installed.

3.

Attach both power cords to the 

AC power

 sockets on the unit.

4.

Plug the 

power cords

 into a UPS appliance or a properly grounded AC power 

source.

NOTE: The XSR-series head unit controls the power to any attached SnapExpansion XSR 
units. Before powering ON the head unit, be sure all expansion units are connected and 
plugged in. Turning on the head unit will cause all the attached expansion units to power 
on. The SnapExpansion XSR Power button is an override option only.

Press the front 

power switch of the head unit

 for no more than one second.
