6-4 Drive Bay Installation
A bezel covers the front of the chassis but does not need to be removed to
access the drives. If you wish to remove the bezel piece, push on the
three tabs on the inside left side lip of the front chassis cover. Then
slightly swing out the same (left) side of the cover - about ½ inch only.
Remove by pushing on the open side of the cover to remove it from the
chassis (do not try to swing or pull it straight out after opening the left side.
Serial ATA Drives
After unlocking the Serial ATA (SATA) drive bay door, swing it open to access
the SATA drive. The drive IDs are preconfigured as 0 through 3 in order from
bottom to top.
Important! Use extreme 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 or obstruct the airflow holes in the SATA
backplane. Regardless of how many SATA hard drives are
installed, all four SATA drive carriers must remain in the
drive bays to promote proper airflow.

1. Installing/removing hot-plug SATA drives:
The four SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the
chassis. These SATA drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be
removed and installed without powering down the system. To remove a
carrier, first open the front bezel then push the release button located beside
the drive LEDs. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit
straight out (see Figure 6-6).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug
capability of the SATA drives.
