4.Mount the drive in the host system.

To mount an “LC” drive, plug the drive into the system’s sin- gle connector attachment (SCA) position on the system’s backplane. The SCA connector on the drive contains inter- face and power functions, so it does not require a separate power connector. The dimensions of the drive are provided in Figure 15.

Some host systems require that you first mount the drive to a sliding tray or courier before inserting it into the system. This drive model plugs directly into a backplane connector and therefore does not use cables.
