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 hard drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use standard 1" high, hard drives in the SuperServer 8026B-
6RF/8026B-TRF.
DVD-ROM: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain ac-
cess 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.
Hard Drive Installation
The hard 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 hard drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Mounting a Hard 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 6-2.
The hard drive carriers are located in the front of the chassis, making them easily
accessible for installation and removal. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning
that they can be installed and removed while the system is running.
Installing/Removing Hard Drives
1.
To remove a hard drive, fi rst push the release button located beside the
drive's LEDs
2.
Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see
Figure 6-3).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the hard drives.
