Step 2: Mount VTrak in a Rack
The VTrak M-Class subsytems install directly to the rack with or without using the
supplied mounting rails. Refer to Chapter 2 of the VTrak Product Manual on the
CD for instructions on installing the rails and mounting your VTrak.
Step 3: Install Disk Drives
You can populate the VTrak with 1.5 GB or 3.0 GB SATA drives. Refer to Chapter
7 of the VTrak Product Manual on the CD for the number of drives needed for
each RAID configuration.
Install all of the drive carriers into the VTrak enclosure to ensure proper airflow,
even if you do not populate all the carriers with disk drives.
If you use different size disk drives in the same logical drive, the total size of the
logical drive will equal the size of the smallest disk drive times the number of
drives.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the VTrak Product Manual on the CD for diagrams showing
how the drive slots are numbered.

other types of screws can damage the adjacent drives.
