Use caution when working around the backplane. Do not touch the back-

!
backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive
!
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.

Hard Drive Backplane

The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the hard drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.

DVD-ROM Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6027R-3RF4+ accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives. Side
mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the
server.
Accessing the Inside of the Chassis
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top
cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You
can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of
the server.
