2. Installing/removing hot-swap Serial ATA drives
Two Serial ATA drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them easily accessible
for installation and removal. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be installed and
removed without powering down the system. To remove, first push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs, then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight
out.
Removing/Installing Serial ATA Drives
Warning: Regardless of how many Serial ATA drives are installed, both drive
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
Serial ATA Power Cables
Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airflow through the
chassis.
Serial ATA Backplane
The Serial ATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID, and bus termination. 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 Serial ATA drives.
Replacing a CD-ROM or Floppy Drive
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive and a "slim" floppy drive will fit in the chassis.
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM and floppy drive
bays.
