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
system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain
in the chassis.
Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier (Figure 6-5)
Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec- 1.
tor end toward the rear of the carrier.
Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up. Note that 2.
there are holes in the carrier marked “SATA” to aid in correct installation.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated below. 3.
Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the 4.
hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right
side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will
retract.
Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position. 5.
