SCSI JBOD Installation Guide Rev A
3-1
This chapter covers SCSI device installation for 4-bay 1U rackmount enclosures.
SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping
The unit uses SCA-2 type connectors which provide a safe means of
connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to utilize this
feature, the host adapter or RAID controller and host operating software must
support the feature. Any SCA drive is capable of plugging directly into the
backplane of the unit and should not require any additional cabling or
connections.
Canister Removal/Insertion
1. Pull the handle out to unlock the canister from the
StorBlade
TM
unit.
Notice that the locking tab slides down as the handle is pulled out.
2. Pull the canister straight out to remove. Ensure that any installed devices
are spun down before full removal to prevent damage to the drive.
Follow the steps in reverse to reinstall.
Drive Installation
1. After removing the canister, place it on a static free surface along with the
device to be installed.
SAFETY TIP: After disengaging a device from the enclosure, allow 10 seconds
before pulling the canister out of the unit. This allows the device to
properly spin/shut down before transport.
