It is important that you install the drives in the correct drive slot, and in correct expansion unit if you have a GigaStor Expandable. Failure to install the drives in the proper order will result in poor read/write performance or possibly RAID array failure.

3Push the latch in all the way until it clicks.

4Repeat until all drives are in the chassis. For the GigaStor Expandable continue with B1-B16 and C1-C16 as appropriate.

5If you are installing a GigaStor Expandable, you must also connect the cables. See “Connecting the GigaStor Expandable to the expansion units” on page 52. Otherwise, continue with “Installing the GigaStor and connecting the cables” on page 19.
