Serial ATA Backplane

The Serial ATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus

termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data

security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the

hot-swap capability of the Serial ATA drives. The backplane has two jumpers as

follows:

JP18:

Alarm

reset

JP25: Hard drive temperature threshold

Settings: Open = 45º, Pins 1-2 = 50º, Pins 2-3 = 55º.

CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to both drives. The

CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profi le to fi t into the 6014L-T. You must power

down the system before installing or removing a CD-ROM or fl oppy drive.

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks

(you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis

to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until

it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the

inside of the server.

To install either type of drive, start by disconnecting the drives' power and data

cables then remove the two screws from either side of the bracket the secures the

drives to the chassis. With these screws removed, you can then lift out the entire

assembly (drives and bracket). Both the CD-ROM and the fl oppy drives are each

secured to this bracket with four screws (two on either side). Remove these screws

to take out the drive then install a new drive into the same space. Secure it to the

bracket with the four screws. Then place the assembly back into place and secure

it to the chassis with the two screws previously removed. Finish by reconnecting

the drves' power and data cables.

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed

in their bays.

• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
