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 in the A16F-R2422 subsystem. If the
drive bay superstructure is deformed or altered, the drive trays may not fit
into the drive bay.

The A16F-R2422 subsystem comes with sixteen (16) pre-installed SATA-II
to SATA multiplexer (MUX) kits (one in each drive tray). These MUX kits
facilitate the installation of separately purchased SATA-II or SATA-I
drives. When installing the drives into the drive tray, the connectors at the
back of the drive must be connected to the MUX kit SATA connector.
When installed into the enclosure, the SCA-II connector on the MUX kits
will connect to the controller board via backplane board. The MUX kits
communicate the combined drive signals to redundant controllers to prevent
a single point-of-failure.
WARNING!
The MUX kits are small, delicate components that must be handled with
care.
