Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

WARNING!

1.Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very delicate. Dropping a drive against a hard surface (even from a short distance) and hitting or touching the circuits on the drives with your tools may cause damage to the drives.

2.Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives.

3.Only use screws supplied with the drive canisters. Longer screws can damage the hard drives.

2.8.2Drive Installation

Step 1. Place the SATA hard drive into the drive tray as shown in Figure 2-5, making sure that the hard drive is oriented in such a way that the SATA connector is facing the back of the drive tray, and the circuit side is facing downward.

Figure 2-5: Installing a SATA Hard Drive

Step 2. Adjust the drive’s location until the mounting holes in the drive canister are aligned with those on the hard drive. Secure the drive with four (4) of the supplied 6/32 flat- head screws. (See Figure 2-5)

2.9 Drive Tray Installation

Once the hard drives have been secured within the drive trays, the drive trays can be installed into the subsystem.
