Installing 3.5-inch Disk Drives
To install your 3.5-inch disk drives:
1.
Remove a disk drive carrier.
2.
Carefully lay the drive into the drive carrier at the front, so that the screw
holes on the sides line up.
If you are installing a AAMUX adapters and SATA disk drives:
First attach the adapter to the drive. Then install the mounting screws.
See page 16, Figure 7.
3.
Insert the screws through the holes in the sides of the drive carrier and into
the disk drive. See page 16, Figures 7 and 8.
•
For the disk drive, install only the screws supplied with the VTrak.
•
For the adapter, install only the screws supplied with the adapter.
•
Install four screws per drive.
•
Install two screws per adapter.
•
Snug each screw. Be careful not to over tighten.
4.
Reinstall the drive carrier into the VTrak chassis.
5.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all of your disk drives are installed.
Important
•
If your VTrak has two I/O modules and you are installing
SATA disk drives, an AAMUX adapter is required so that both
modules can access the SATA disk drive. Obtain AAMUX
adapters from Promise Technology, Inc.
•
Proper installation ensures adequate grounding and
minimizes vibration. Always install the disk drives using all
four screws.
Caution
VTrak supports disk drive hot-swapping. To avoid hand contact
with an electrical hazard, do not remove more than one drive
carrier a time.
