Drive Installation Without Mux Kit - Infortrend EonStor S12F-R1432 Installation And Hardware Reference Manual

EonStor S12F-R1432/G1433 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
SAS drives are preferred, you have to remove the MUX kits. (For the
removal procedure of MUX kits, refer to Section 5.8, step 1-3)
The single-controller S12F-G1433 subsystem can work with both
SAS and SATA hard drives without MUX kits.
The hard drives and drive trays should only be installed into the
subsystem after the subsystem has been mounted into a rack
cabinet. If the hard drives are installed first, the subsystem will be
too heavy to handle.
1. Handle hard drives with extreme care. Hard drives are very
delicate. Dropping a drive onto a hard surface (even over a
short distance) and hitting or touching the circuits on the drives
with your tools may damage the drives.
2. Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing hard
drives.
3. Use only screws shipped with the subsystem. Longer screws
may damage the hard drives.
