Installing a SATA Hard Drive and Interposer Card Into a SATAu Hard-Drive Carrier

NOTE:

When you install a SATA hard drive into a SATAu drive carrier, you must install an interposer card onto the

back of the hard drive. The SATAu drive carrier is labeled "SATAu" and also has marks indicating the SAS and SATA
mounting screws.

1 Insert the SATA hard drive into the SATAu hard-drive carrier with the connector end of the drive at

the rear. See Figure 3-7.

2 Viewing the assembly as shown in Figure 3-7, align the bottom rear screw hole on the hard drive

with the hole labeled "SATAu" on the hard drive carrier.

When aligned correctly, the rear of the interposer will be flush with the rear of the hard-drive carrier.

3 Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3-7.
4 Attach the interposer card to the rear of the SATA hard drive:

a

Angle the top of the interposer card into the inside top carrier rail so that the tabs on the
interposer card bracket attach to the slots on the inside of the carrier rail. See Figure 3-7.

b

Rotate the bottom end of the card toward the hard drive to seat the connector. See Figure 3-7.

c

Push the bottom end of the card to the hard drive until the latch on the card bracket clicks into
place.
