Hard Drive Backplane; Accessing The Inside Of The System - Supero SUPERSERVER 5027R-WRF User Manual

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.

Accessing the Inside of the System

When performing maintenance such as replacing fans, you will need to gain access
to the interior of the chassis.
Accessing the Inside of the System
1. If rackmounted, fi rst, 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.
3. Push the cover toward the rear of the chassis then lift it off to gain full access
to the inside of the server. See Figure 6-5.
