Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access
the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions.
DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM disk drive, you will need to
gain access to the inside of the 6016T-T by removing the top cover of the chas-
sis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for
instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fi t into the 6016T-T.
SATA Drive Installation
The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives
installed must remain in the chassis.
Installing a SATA Drive
1.
To remove a drive carrier, fi rst push the release button located beside the
drive LEDs, then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit
straight out (see Figure 6-3).
2.
Install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the
carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
3.
Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Important: Regardless of how many SATA drives are installed, both drive
!
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not touch the
backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch
!
the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
