1. Installing/removing hot-swap SATA drives
The eight SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis.
These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed with-
out powering down the system. To remove a carrier, fi rst open the front bezel then
push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Swing the handle fully out
and then use it to pull the unit straight out.
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the SATA drives.
2. 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 work to promote proper airfl ow for
the system. For this reason, even carriers without SATA drives must remain in the
server. If you need to add a new SATA drive, insert the 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 (see Figure 6-6).
6-4 Drive Bay Installation
Serial ATA Drives
A total of eight SATA drives may be housed in the SC743T-650/SC743T-R760
chassis. The drive IDs are preconfi gured as 0 through 7 in order from bottom to
top (or from left to right if rackmounted). A bezel covers the SATA drive area but
does not need to be removed to access the drives; simply swing open the bezel.
If you wish to remove the bezel piece, push on the three tabs on the inside of the
left lip of the front chassis cover. Then slightly swing out the same (left) side of
the cover - about ½ inch only. Remove by pushing on the open side of the cover
to remove it from the chassis (do not try to swing or pull it straight out after open-
ing the left side).
Regardless of how many SATA hard drives are installed, all SATA
drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to promote proper
airfl ow.
