SATA/SCSI Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SATA/SCSI drive in a drive carrier
The SATA/SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for
the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis. To add a new drive, install a drive into the carrier with the
printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those
in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure
6-4.

!
Important: Regardless of how many SATA/SCSI hard drives are
installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to main-
tain proper airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the SATA/SCSI backplane. Do
not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which
aid in proper airfl ow.
