SATA Drive Installation
Mounting a SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the
drives. For this reason, even empty carriers without SATA drives installed must re-
main in the chassis. To add a new SATA drive, install a drive into the carrier with the
printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in
the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Installing/Removing SATA Drives
1.
To remove a SATA drive carrier, first push the release button located beside
the drive's LEDs.
2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out.
Installing a Hard Drive to the Hard Drive Tray
1. Remove the two screws securing the dummy drive to the drive tray and
remove the dummy drive.Place the hard drive tray on a flat surface such as a
desk, table or work bench (see Figure 6-4).
2. Slide the hard drive into the tray with the printed circuit board side facing
down.
3. Carefully align the mounting holes in both the drive tray and the hard drive.
4. Secure the hard drive to the tray using six screws.
5. Replace the drive tray into the chassis. Make sure to close the drive tray
handle to lock the drive tray into place (see Figure 6-5)..
Figure 6-4. Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
Warning!
Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web
site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/files/storage/SAS-1-CompList-110909.

Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. 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 SATA drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so there are
no jumpers or switches present on it.
