Installing Physical Disks in the Enclosure

NOTICE:

To ensure proper airflow for enclosure cooling, each slot should contain

either an active physical disk or a physical disk blank.

NOTICE:

Always wear a wrist grounding strap when handling equipment with

static-sensitive components.

Perform the following steps to install the new physical disk into the carrier:

1 Remove the four screws that secure the physical disk to its carrier and

remove the physical disk (see Figure 3-3).

2 Position the replacement physical disk into the physical disk carrier with

the disk's controller board facing down as shown in Figure 3-3.

3 Align the physical disk mounting holes with the SAS carrier mounting

holes as shown in Figure 3-3.
