The subsystem comes with twelve (12) drive trays designed to
accommodate separately purchased standard 1-inch pitch, 3.5-inch
SAS/SATA-II (3Gbps) disk drives. On the drive tray’s front bezel, you
can see two (2) LED indicators, a rotary lock and a release button
(see
Figure 1-9
). The LED indicators signify drive status. The rotary
lock prevents the tray’s unintentional ejection, while the convenient
release button ensures fast and efficient drive swapping. There are
screw holes on the sides of the drive tray for securing hard drives to
the drive tray.
WARNING!
Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way
(e.g., by dropping it or resting heavy objects on it). The drive tray
has been customized to fit into the drive bays of the subsystem. If
the drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays
may not fit into the drive bays.
