VTrak 15110 User Manual

Caution

If you plan to operate your VTrak with fewer than 15 disk drives, install all 15 Drive Carriers into the enclosure, to ensure proper airflow for cooling.

Important

Be sure each drive is securely fastened to its carrier. Proper installation ensures adequate grounding and minimizes vibration. Do not install drives with fewer than four screws.

Note

Previous array enclosures from Promise required you to latch the drive carrier handle in order to power the drive. VTrak uses the handle only to lock the carrier in place.

Drive Numbering

Each disk drive in VTrak is identified by a number used for creating and managing logical drives. VTrak numbers disk drives from left to right. Numbers a stamped above each drive bay for easy indentification.
