Hard Drive Installation
Profile:
The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3.5-inch
wide x 1-inch high hard drives.
Drive type:
The subsystem is designed for SATA-II interface hard drives.
Please ensure that you purchase the correct hard drives.
MUX kit:
MUX boards come standard with every drive trays. The MUX
kits provide alternative data links in the event of single controller failure and
the surviving controller needs to access the hard drives.
CAUTION!
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the
subsystem after the subsystem has been mounted into a rack cabinet. If
the hard drives are installed first, the subsystem will be too heavy to
handle and the possible impact during installation may damage your
drives.
WARNING!
1.
Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very delicate.
Dropping a drive onto a hard surface (even from a short distance)
and hitting or touching the circuits on the drives with your tools may
damage the drives.
2.
Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing hard drives.
3.
Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws
may damage the hard drive.
2.6.2 Drive Installation
Step 1.
Place the hard drive into the drive tray
, making sure that the
connector at the back of the drive is facing the open side of the
drive tray, the circuit side facing downward, and the label side
facing upward.
Step 2.
Connect the drive to the MUX kit by sliding it towards the
rear of the drive tray until a solid connection between the
drive connector and the MUX kit connector has been made.
