7. Place the new hard disk in the tray.
–
Insert hard disks so that the label on the top of the hard disk faces the solid
surface of the tray (and you can see the circuitry on the bottom of the hard
disk), as shown in the following figure.
–
Ensure that the SATA data and power connectors on each disk are facing
away from the front of the blade. An arrow on the underside of the tray points
to the front of the blade.

8. Align the holes in the side of the hard disk with the holes in the side of the tray.
Secure hard disks to the tray with the appropriate screws.
9. Reconnect the SATA power cables and numbered data cables to each hard disk.
–
Hard disks 1 and 3 use short (11-inch) data cables (part number G0600055)
–
Hard disks 2 and 4 use long (12-inch) data cables (part number G0600056)
Ensure that you reconnect data cables correctly. Figure 45 on page 85 shows
the correct placement of hard disks in the tray, and shows how SATA headers
on the motherboard are mapped to each hard disk number.
10. Carefully lower the tray into the blade by rotating the tray and hard disks into the
tray opening. Ensure that cables are out of the way and are not preventing you
from completely lowering the tray.
11. Align the holes in the tray and the blade, replace the four screws, and tighten.
12. Ensure that all SATA cables are completely connected to the SATA headers on
the motherboard (as shown in Figure 45 on page 85).
You can now replace the blade in a chassis and power it on.
Use the correct ClearCube-supplied or ClearCube-approved screws
to secure each hard disk to the tray. Screws that are too long can
damage hard disks, damage threads in the tray, or both.
