CAUTION:

Never use a cable where power is supplied through the SAS connector because

this may damage the drive. Always use a spare power cord from the server's internal power
supply. This caution does not apply to LTO–6 Ultrium 6650 and LTO–5 Ultrium 3280 tape
drives.

If you have lost the use of a disk bay, we strongly recommend that you attach the supplied
sticker to the blanking plate of the disk bay to show that it is disconnected.

NOTE:

If you subsequently install a hard disk in this bay, it will not work. This does not mean

there is a fault with either the disk or the server.
