Installing/Removing SATA Drives
The SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These
drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system.
Open the front bezel then push the release button located beside the drive
LEDs.
Swing the handle fully out and then use it to pull the unit straight out.
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the SATA drives.
Mounting a SATA drive in a Drive Carrier
The SATA drive carriers help to promote proper airfl ow for the system. For this
reason, even carriers without SATA drives must remain in the server.
Insert the drive 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 four screws (see Figure 6-5).

6-4 Drive Bay Installation
A total of six SATA drives may be housed in the SC743SQ-865 chassis. The drive
IDs are preconfi gured as 0 through 5 in order from bottom to top (or from left to
right if rackmounted).
A bezel covers the drive area but does not need to be removed to access the drives;
simply swing open the bezel. If you wish to remove the bezel piece, push on the
three tabs on the inside of the left 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).
Regardless of how many SATA drives are installed, all drive carriers
must remain in the drive bays to promote proper airfl ow.
