2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives:
Four SCSI drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them
easily accesible to install and remove. The SCSI drives can be removed
and installed without powering down the system (hot-swap). To remove,
first push the release button located beside the drive LEDs, then swing
the burgundy colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight
out (see Figure 6-5). Note: Your Operating System must have RAID
support to enable the hot-plug capability of the SCSI drives.
!
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives
are installed, all 4 SCSI drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
