Step 4. Close the front flap on the drive tray. Make sure the front flap is closed properly to ensure that the SATA connector at the back of the drive tray is properly mated with the corresponding connector on the backplane board. If the front flap is not closed properly, the connection between the hard drive and the subsystem may come loose and mysterious drive signals may result.

Step 5. Lock the flap into place by turning the key-lock until the groove on its face is pointing down (vertical orientation). (See Figure 2-9)

Step 6. Once the drive bays are populated and the subsystem powered on, the RAID controller will automatically spin up the hard drives and recognize their presence.
