Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec-
tor end toward the rear of the carrier.
2. Align the drive in the carrier so that the mounting holes of both are aligned.
Note that the carrier has holes marked "SATA" to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated above. Use the
four M3 flat-head screws included in the HDD bag of the accessory box. Note
that the screws used to secure the dummy drive to the carrier cannot be used
to secure the hard drive.
4. Use the open handle to replace the drive carrier into the chassis. Make sure
to close the drive carrier handle.

Installing the Rear 2.5" Hard Drive

The SC216B model chassis supports an optional hard drive cage for two additional
2.5" hot-swappable hard drives. The hard drive cage installs in the rear of the chas-
sis next to the power supply. Once the hard drive cage has been installed, the 2.5"
hard drives may be removed without powering down the server.
Installing the 2.5" Rear Hard Drive Cage
1. Power down the system as described in Section 5-2, lay the chassis on a flat,
stable surface and remove the chassis cover.
2. Orient the rear hard drive cage as shown (Figure 5-5), aligning the opening at
the end of the cage with the opening at the back of the chassis.
3. Place the hard drive cage into the chassis. Secure the front of the hard drive
cage to the chassis by fastening one screw inside the opening of the hard
drive cage as illustrated.
4. Secure the top of the hard drive cage to the chassis frame with two screws
fastened at the upper edge of the hard drive cage above the opening of the
hard drive cage.
5. Secure the back of the hard drive cage to the chassis with one screw as
shown above.
6. Replace the power cords and power up the server.
