Serial ATA Drive Installation

1. Accessing the inside of the system

The Serial ATA drive is installed internally in the 5014C-MF. To add or remove the Serial ATA drive, you must fi rst remove the top chassis cover to gain access to the inside of the system.

First, power down the system (it is also recommended to remove the AC power cord) then release the retention screws near the handles that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, remove the screw at the back of the chassis that secures the top cover to the chassis. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover from the locked position. Push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

2. Installing/removing a Serial ATA drive

The hard drive is mounted in a tray at the right rear area of the server. The tray is quipped with rubber grommets to reduce vibration (Figure 6-3, #1). Remove the screws that secure the hard drive to the chassis and then lift it of the standoffs, as shown in Figure 6-4. To remove a hard drive, unscrew the screws that secure it to the tray (Figure 6-3, #3) and then remove the drive. To add a drive, position it in the tray with the printed circuit board side facing down and with the holes in the drive and the holes in the tray aligned. You can install it in either the top or the bottom half of the tray. Then secure the drive to the tray with four screws (two on each side), as shown in Figure 6-3.
