Drive Bay Installation
SAS and SATA Drives
A total of eight SAS or six SATA drives may be housed in the SC748TQ-R1200
chassis. The drive IDs are preconfi gured as 0 through 5 in order from bottom to
top (or from left to right if rackmounted).
The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed
and installed without powering down the system. The carriers also work to promote
proper airfl ow for the system. For this reason, even carriers without drives must
remain in the server.
Regardless of how many SAS/SATA drives are installed, all
drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to promote proper
!
airfl ow.
Installing/removing Hot-Swap SAS/SATA drives
1.
Open the front bezel then push the release button on the drive carrier.
2.
Swing the handle fully out and then use it to pull the unit straight out.
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the SAS/SATA drives.
Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier
1.
Insert the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down
so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws (see Figure 6-5).
SAS/SATA Backplane
The SAS/SATA drives plug into a SAS/SATA backplane
Five data cables (CBL-0206L) need to be connected from the serverboard to the
appropriate connectors on the backplane to provide dual-channel operation for the
SAS drives. There are also two power connectors on the backplane - both should
be connected.
