Serial ATA Drive Installation
1. Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier
The Serial ATA 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
Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without Serial ATA
drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new Serial ATA drive, install
a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that
the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier
with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

!
Important: Regardless of how many Serial ATA hard drives are
installed, both drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to
maintain proper airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the Serial ATA 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.
