Step 3: Installing the Drive Carriers

These instructions assume that the drive carriers have already been
attached to your disk drives.
!
Caution: Acclimate new disk drives to room temperature
before you install them and power up the Storage Enclosure.
To install the drive carriers into the Storage Enclosure:
1 Hold the drive carrier with the LEDs on the left side (at the bottom
for tower-mounted systems) and select an open disk drive slot.
Note: It is easier to install the drive carriers from left to
right on the Storage Enclosure.
2 With the cam lever of the drive slot fully open, slide the carrier
into the slot until the lever starts to close.
3 Push the cam lever until it engages the latch on the left side of
the carrier assembly and clicks into place.
4 Repeat for all drive carriers.
Note: Either a drive carrier or a carrier blank must be installed
in all the slots of the enclosure to maintain proper airflow and
cooling.
When all drive carriers are installed, continue with
Power Cords to the APC Modules.

Step 4: Connecting the I/O Cables

To connect the I/O cables to your Storage Enclosure, follow the
instructions provided for your specific Storage Enclosure interface:
For a SATA interface (Adaptec FS4100 or FS4500), see
For an FC interface (Adaptec FC4100), see
For an Ultra320 SCSI interface (Adaptec SC4100), see
