If a fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type.
Contact Quantum for information on replacement fans.
SATA 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.
Caution: 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. Also, regardless
of how many drives are installed, all four drive carriers
must remain in the chassis to maintain proper air flow.
Caution: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use
in Quantum chassis and servers.
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their
installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help
promote proper air flow for the system. For this reason, even empty
carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.
1 Install a new 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 six screws, as shown in
