Installing System Components
Closing the System
1 Lift up the latch on the cover.
2 Place the cover on top of the system and offset the cover slightly back so that it clears the chassis J
hooks and lays flush on the system chassis. See Figure 3-4.
3 Push down the latch to lever the cover into the closed position.
4 Rotate the latch release lock in a clockwise direction to secure the cover.
Figure 3-4. Removing the Cover
Hard Drives
This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS or SATA hard drives in the system's internal
hard-drive bays. Your system features up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives. All drives connect to the system
board through the SAS/SATA backplane board. See Figure 6-3. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-
pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.
NOTICE:
Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the
optional SAS RAID controller daughter card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-
plug drive removal and insertion.
