the power connections are made.

Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

SAS/SATA Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove
power to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use standard 1" high, SAS/SATA drives in the A+ SERVER
2042G-TRF/6RF.
DVD-ROM: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed
to the "DVD-ROM Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

SAS/SATA Drive Installation

The SAS/SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for
the drives. For this reason, even empty carriers without SAS/SATA drives installed
must remain in the chassis.
Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a drive carrier
1. Install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down
so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
