Chapter 5: Advanced Chassis Setup

5-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
SAS Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power
to replace or swap SAS drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
You must
use standard 3.5" SAS drives in the system.
Note:
Refer to the following ftp site for setup guidelines: <ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/
driver/SAS/LSI/LSI_SAS_EmbMRAID_SWUG.pdf> and Supermicro's web site for
additional inmformation < http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/>.
Hard Drive Midplane
The hard drives plug into a midplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the midplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the hard drives. The midplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.
SAS Drive Installation
These drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. The carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drives. For
this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the
chassis.
Removing a HDD Carrier from the Chassis (Figure 5-4)
Press the release button on the drive tray. This extends the drive tray handle.
1.
Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
2.
Installing a SAS Hard Drive (Figures 5-5 and 5-6)
Remove the screws securing the dummy drive to the drive carrier.
1.
Remove the dummy drive. Place the carrier on a fl at surface.
2.
Slide the hard drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side down.
3.
Carefully align the mounting holes in both the drive tray and the hard drive.
