Warning: Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not touch the

backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane.

Also, regardless of how many drives are installed, all four drive carriers must remain

in the chassis to maintain proper airow.

SATA Drive Installation

Mounting a 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 airow for the

system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain

in the chassis.

1. Install a new drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing

down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

2. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Installing/Removing SATA Drives

1. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.

2. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see

Figure 6-5).

Note: There is no onboard RAID support for SATA drives.

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

for the drives. The backplane is already precongured, so there are no jumpers or

switches present on it.
