SAS/SATA Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a drive carrier
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 drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis. To add a new drive, 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. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure
6-4.

Important: Regardless of how many SAS/SATA hard drives are installed, all
drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.
