Figure 6-4. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
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. Also, regardless of how many
SATA drives are installed, all four drive carriers must remain in
the chassis to maintain proper airfl ow.
!
Accessing the Drive Bays
SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note:
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SATA drives.
CD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a CD-ROM drive, you will need to gain ac-
cess to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed
to the "CD-ROM Drive Installation" section in this chapter for instructions. Note that
only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fi t into the 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+.
Serial ATA Drive Installation
1.
Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier
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. To add a new SATA drive, install it into the carrier with the printed
circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
