6-5 Installing and Replacing Hard Drives
The chassis can contain twelve 3.5" internal hard disk drives. Each HDD position
in the chassis is labeled with a number that corresponds to the SAS/SATA ports
on the motherboard.
The drives rest on metal brackets that run the full width of the chassis. They attach
to the system by means of four small, horizontal backplanes, which include a
socket into which each HDD is inserted. The two front rows of HDDs attach to two
backplanes between the rows. The row of HDDs near the middle of the chassis
attaches to two backplanes behind that row.
Replacing a Hard Drive
This procedure is also described on the instruction sticker on the chassis cover.
1. With the optional cable arm, the system can remain powered on when replac-
ing drives. (without the cable arm, first power down as described in Section
6-3). With the system extended from the rack, remove the top front cover.
2. Locate and press the latch on the HDD you wish to remove from the chassis
(see instruction sticker).
3. Slide the HDD away from its backplane socket and lift it out. Note the number
on the floor of the chassis.
4. Slide the replacement drive into the backplane socket and push it down onto
the mounting bracket until it clicks into position.
