Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no rib-
bon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in
proper airfl ow.

Figure 6-5. Removing a Drive from the Server
SATA Backplane
The SATA 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 drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there are no
jumpers or switches present on it.
Installing/removing SATA Drives
The drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These hard
drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system.
To remove a carrier, 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 (see Figure
6-5).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SATA drives.
