3.Using a mechanical lifter or two people, insert the appliance into the rack rails.
Lift the appliance to its install height and engage the inner members on the appliance with the middle members protruding from the rack, and slide the appliance into the rack until it stops.
4.Slide the unit in and out a few times to ensure that the expansion array does not bind.
If binding occurs, verify that the front and rear flanges are mounted in the correct holes, readjusting the slide positioning as necessary.

Recommended Drive Configurations
Before installing or adding drives to a SAN S2000 server, the following must be observed:
•Different capacity drives can be installed; however, they should not be included in the same RAID array, because capacity usage for all drives in the RAID is limited to the capacity of the smallest drive member.
•Drives of different rotational speed (such as, SAS and SATA drives) can be installed (Figure 11), but they should not be installed in the same column or be separated from each other by a column of different rotational speed drives (Figure 12). If you are combining drives with different speeds, use the figures below to plan where to place the disk drives.
