Install Drives
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
As shipped, the first four bays are empty and the remaining
bays have blank drive carriers in them. Once the unit is in the
rack, install the drives before continuing:
1. If a blank drive carrier is in the bay where you are about
to install a drive, remove the blank by pressing the lever
release button and pulling it out.
Save the blank for possible future use.
2. Press the button to release the lever on a drive assembly.
3. Position the drive assembly in front of an empty bay and
slide it in until resistance is felt.
4. Push the lever in to lock the assembly in the bay.
5. Repeat
Steps 1–4
for each remaining drive assembly.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive
assembly or a blank drive carrier must be installed in every
bay. Leave drive blanks in bays not used; no empty bays are allowed.
Attach the Bezel
1. Insert the bezel tab into the chassis left flange hole under
the Front Panel Display.
2. Push the latch toward the bezel center, swing the right
side of the bezel into place, and release the latch.
Step 4 – Attach Cables and Power Cords
Head Unit Connections
IMPORTANT: For best results, on the head unit connect Master
controller to Master controller and Secondary controller to
Secondary controller.
NOTE: Additional E1000s can be daisy-chained off the first array.
Up to four (4) expansion arrays can be attached to the head unit.
Use these steps to connect the first SnapDisk E1000 expansion
array added:
1. Plug a supplied SAS cable into the S1000 head unit's SAS
expansion port on the Master controller (in bay CL1).
2. Plug the other end into the E1000 expansion array's In
port on the Master connector.
3. For a dual-controller head unit, plug the other supplied
SAS cable into the S1000 head unit's SAS expansion
port on the Secondary controller (in bay CL2).
4. Plug the other end into the E1000 expansion array's In
port on the Secondary connector.
