FORTRAH1 Chaparral G5312 InstallationGuide Rev C 3-1
This chapter covers SCSI device installation for 10-bay rackmount and 10-bay
tower enclosures.

SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping

The unit uses SCA-2 (80-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 (80-pin) drive is capable of plugging directly into
the backplane of the unit and should not require any additional cabling or
connections.

Canister Removal/Insertion

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.
SICHERHEITSHINWEIS: Nachdem ein Einschub vom Gehäuse wie in "Step
3" gezeigt gelöst wurde, warten Sie bitte ca. 10 Sekunden bevor der
Einschub ganz heraus gezogen wird Dies ermöglicht den Auslauf der
Festplatte bis zum vollständigen Stillstand der rotierenden Scheiben für
einen sicheren Transport.
