Important: Regardless of how many SATA drives are installed, both drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

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 or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
