SANBloc S50 Quick Install Guide

Installing Additional Disk Drives

If the SANbloc S50 enclosure came with 4 drives installed, you can install

up to 8 additional disk drives. The enclosure supports up to 12 SAS or 12

SATA disk drives, or a combination of both (up to 12 drives total).

Caution

Acclimate new disk drives to room temperature before you

install them.

Before You Begin

While you can combine SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure; you

cannot combine SAS and SATA drives in the same column of drives. If

you are combining SAS and SATA disk drives, use the figures below to

plan where you will be placing the disk drives.
These figures represent enclosures fully-loaded with disk drives.

However, the same guidelines apply even if you are filling some of the

drive slots with blank drive carriers.
