Serial ATA Drive Installation (5013C-T)
1. Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier
The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their
installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help
promote proper airflow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason,
even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives installed must remain in the
chassis. To add a new Serial ATA drive, install a 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, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Important: Regardless of how many Serial ATA hard
drives are installed, both drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

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
airflow.
