Installing a Hard Disk Drive

Your WAE supports six 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch low-voltage differential (LVD) hard disk drives installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays.

Note All hard disk drives being used in the device should have the same throughput speed rating. Mixing hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all hard disk drives to operate at the lower throughput speed.

Note The SCSI ID assigned to each bay is printed on the bezel.

Caution To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the device for more than 10 minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.

To install a hard disk drive in a bay, follow these steps:

Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.

Step 2 Remove the filler panel (labeled 3 in Figure 4-8) from one of the empty bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the device.

Step 3 Place the drive handle in the open position and slide the drive into the bay.

Step 4 Close the drive handle and reload the appliance. You must reload the appliance for the software to recognize the hard disk drive.
