Installing an SAS Hard Disk DriveNote The WAE-612 hardware supports hot-swappable SAS hard disk drives; however,
you must be running WAAS 4.0.13 or a later version to obtain the software
support for hot-swapping. If you are running a WAAS version prior to 4.0.13, we
recommend that you power down your WAE-612 when swapping or installing
new hard disk drives.
To install an SAS hard disk drive in the WAE-612, follow these steps:
Step 1 Inspect the new drive for any signs of damage.
Step 2 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the
“Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.
Step 3 Make sure that the chassis cover is in place and fully closed.
Step 4 Open the drive tray handle.
Step 5 Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. (See Figure 4-7.)
Note If you are replacing disk00 in a WAE-612, you must install it in the left
drive bay.
