Dell R805 Hard Drives

To upgrade or troubleshoot the system, remove the system cover to gain access to internal components.



1. Unless you are installing a hot-plug component such as a cooling fan or power supply, turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the

system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.



2. To remove the system cover, turn the latch release lock counter-clockwise to the unlocked position. See Figure3-4.



3. Lift up on the latch on top of the system. See Figure3-4.



4. Grasp the cover on both sides and carefully lift the cover away from the system.



Closing the System



1. Lift up the latch on the cover.



2. Place the cover on top of the system and offset the cover slightly back so that it clears the chassis J hooks and lays flush on the system chassis. See

Figure3-4.



3. Push down the latch to lever the cover into the closed position.



4. Rotate the latch release lock in a clockwise direction to secure the cover.

Hard Drives

This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS or SATA hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays. Your system features up to two 2.5-

inch SAS or SATA hard drives. All drives connect to the system board through the SAS/SATA backplane board. See Figure6-3. Hard drives are supplied in

special hot-pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.

You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SAS or SATA hard drives.

When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to

format.

NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the SAS controller daughter card to

ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-plug drive removal and insertion.

NOTE: All installed drives must be either SAS or SATA. Mixed drive configurations are not supported.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS/SATA backplane board.

NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive failure.
