SATA Drive Installation
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
drives. For this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Mounting a SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier
To add a new SATA drive, install the drive into the carrier with the printed
1.
circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in
the carrier.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
2.
Installing/Removing Hot-swap SATA Drives
Push the release button located beside the drive's LEDs.
1.
Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see
2.
Figure 6-4).
Note: Your OS must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the
drives.

!
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all
drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper
airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which
aid in proper airfl ow.
