The system supports four hot-swap SATAII/SAS hard disk drives. The hard disk drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard SATAII/SAS ports via the SATAII/SAS backplane.

To install a hot-swap SATAII/SAS HDD:

1.Release a drive tray by pushing the spring lock to the right, then pulling the tray lever outward. The drive tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.

2.Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the drive tray out of the bay.

3.Take note of the drive tray holes.

Each side has three holes to fit different types of hard disk drives. Use two screws on each side to secure the hard disk drive.

4.Place a SATAII/SAS hard disk drive on the tray, then secure it with four screws.
