FORTRA15-bay I6 Infortrend 5251F6 Installation Guide Rev A
This chapter covers Fibre Channel device installation for 15-bay rackmount
and15-bay tower enclosures.
SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping
The unit uses SCA-2, 40-pin connectors which provide a safe means of
connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to hot-swap
devices, the host adapter or RAID controller and host operating software must
support the feature. Any SCA drive is capable of plugging directly into the
backplane of the unit and should not require any additional cabling or
connections.
Canister Removal/Insertion
Note: The photos in this section are for illustration only and are not
intended to represent a particular size enclosure.
1. The photo to the right shows the canister in a
locked position.
2. Pull the handle out to unlock the canister from the
FORTRAunit. Ensure that the thumb is placed
below the line. Pressing the thumb against the
Status LED lens could break it. Notice that the
locking tab slides down as the handle is pulled
out.
3. Pull the canister straight out to remove. Ensure that
any installed devices are spun down before full
removal to prevent damage to the drive.
Follow the steps in reverse to reinstall.
SAFETY TIP: After disengaging a device from the enclosure, allow 10 seconds
before pulling the canister out of the unit. This allows the device to
properly spin/shut down before transport.
