Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-7

Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:

The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation

and removal from the chassis. These carriers also work to promote proper

airflow for the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even those carriers

without SCSI drives must remain installed. If you need to add a new SCSI

drive, insert the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side

toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws. (See Figure 6-5.)

Installing/removing hot-plug SCSI drives:

Open or remove the lower front door as described above to access the 10

SCSI drive bays. The SCSI drives can be removed and installed without

powering down the system (hot-plug). To remove, first push the release

button located beside the drive LEDs, then swing the burgundy colored

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives are

installed, all 10 SCSI drive carriers must remain in the drive

bays for proper airflow.
