SAS DX115 receiving frame supports SATA and SAS drives.

Preparation

NOTE: A #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.

While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive.

1.Remove the drive (not included) from its protective packaging.

2.Remove the drive cover from the DX115 drive carrier (Figure 6) and save the screws.

Installing the Drive into the Drive Carrier

1.Carefully insert the drive (not included) into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O connector on the drive mates with the connector on the Drive Carrier Board (Figure 5). Turn the drive/carrier assembly over.

2.Fasten the drive into place with four (4) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws (Figure 5). Some drives may require minor adjustment before securing into carrier with screws.
