Installing/Removing SAS/SATA Drives
To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. 1.
Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see 2.
Figure 6-5).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capa-
bility of the SAS drives (there is no onboard RAID support for SATA drives).
SAS/SATA Backplane
The SAS/SATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus
termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data
security for the SAS drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there are
no jumpers or switches present on it.
