Installing Physical Disks in the Enclosure

NOTICE:
To ensure proper airflow for enclosure cooling, each slot should contain
either an active physical disk or a physical disk blank.
NOTICE:
Always wear a wrist grounding strap when handling equipment with
static-sensitive components.
Perform the following steps to install the new physical disk into the carrier:
1 Remove the four screws that secure the physical disk to its carrier and
remove the physical disk (see Figure 3-3).
2 Position the replacement physical disk into the physical disk carrier with
the disk's controller board facing down as shown in Figure 3-3.
3 Align the physical disk mounting holes with the SAS carrier mounting
holes as shown in Figure 3-3.
