Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
This section describes the process in installing different types of hard disk
drives, and mounting the RAID system.
2.1 Installing the Hard Disks
All A12R-FS&SS, A16R-FS&SS, and A24R-FS&SS RAID systems support SAS or
SATA interface hard drives.
2.1.1 SAS hard disks
Follow the procedures below to install SAS hard drives:
1. Insert the SAS hard drive into the hard disk tray. Screw the sides to
secure the hard disk. Repeat this procedure to install more hard disks.
2. Insert the key to the key slot and turn to unlock the front panel door.
Caution
It is recommended to mount the RAID system to the rack cabinet
first before installing the hard drives and the drive trays. If the hard
drives are installed first, the RAID system may be too heavy to lift or
handle. And the possible impact during installation may damage the
drives. See 2.2 Mounting the RAID system on page 2-21 for
more information.
