Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the hard drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.
DVD-ROM Installation (Optional)
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6027R-73DARF accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in
the server.
Accessing the Inside of the Chassis
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top
cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You
can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of
the server.
Figure 6-4. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Caution: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive car-
riers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow. Use caution
when working around the 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.
