Hard Drive Backplane

The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power and drive ID. 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
drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there are no jumpers or switches
present on it.
Warning: Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch the
backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane
or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
Warning: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 2026T-6RFT+/6RF+ accomodates only slim-line DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive in the
2026T-6RFT+/6RF+ server. You must power down the system before installing or
removing a DVD-ROM drive.
Removing/Installing a Drive
1. With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the
drive you want to remove.
2. Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the
drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.
3. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the
chassis.
4. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a
faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.
5. Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replac-
ing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system.
