3.4 Chassis Components
Removing Power from the System
Before performing some setup or maintenance tasks, use the following procedure to ensure
that power has been removed from the system.
1. Use the operating system to power down the node, following the on-screen prompts.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the power cord
and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system has dual power
supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.
3. Disconnect the cords from the power strip or wall outlet.
Storage Drives
The SC826 chassis supports twenty-four 3.5" SAS3 hard disk drives. They can be removed
without powering down the system if your operating system supports RAID.
There are also two hot-swap hard drive bays in the rear.
Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro servers. For
information on recommended drives, visit the Supermicro website.
Drive Carriers
The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow through the drive bays. Each drive
carrier has two LED indicators. These are described in Chapter 4.
Removing Drive Carriers from the Chassis
1. To access mid-chassis drives, open the mid-chassis cover and lift the drive rack.
2. Slide the release button toward the side of the drive carrier, which extends the drive
carrier handle.
3. Use the drive carrier handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
