Drive Bay Installation

SATA/SCSI Drives
Six SATA or eight SCSI drives may be housed in the SC748TQ-R1000/SC748S-
R1000 chassis. The SATA drive IDs are preconfi gured as 0 through 5 in order
from right to left (or from bottom to top if rackmounted) and the SCSI drive IDs
are preconfi gured as 0 through 7 in order from right to left (or from bottom to top
if rackmounted).
Note: You must use standard SATA/SCSI drives in the AS4041M-T2R/4041M-
82R.
Use extreme caution when working around the SATA/SCSI backplane.
Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
!
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the airfl ow.
1. Installing/removing hot-swap SATA/SCSI drives
The SATA/SCSI drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis.
These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed with-
out powering down the system. To remove a carrier, fi rst push the release button
located beside the drive LEDs. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull
the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SATA/SCSI drives.
2. Mounting a SATA/SCSI drive in a drive carrier
The SATA/SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also work to promote proper airfl ow for the
system. For this reason, even carriers without drives must remain in the server. If
you need to add a new SATA or SCSI drive, insert the drive into the carrier with the
printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those
in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws. (See Figure 6-6.)
