desktop enclosure.
SCA Connection and Hot-Swapping
The unit uses SCA-2 type connectors which provide a safe means of
connection/disconnection when hot-swapping devices. In order to utilize this
feature, 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.
Locking/Unlocking
A front lock prevents unwanted removal of the canisters including the power
supply canister. Before attempting to remove any drive or the power supply,
insure that the enclosure is in the Unlocked position.
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.

Einschub ganz heraus gezogen wird Dies ermöglicht den Auslauf der
Festplatte bis zum vollständigen Stillstand der rotierenden Scheiben für
