Unsupported Disk Drive Combinations

Page 85 highlights

Disks and Units Unsupported Disk Drive Combinations Do not include disk drives with different rotational speeeds in the same column. Do not include a column of drives with one rotational speed between a column of drives with a different rotational speed. To Add New Disk Drives to Increase Capacity on a SnapServer N2000 or E2000 1 Review the Recommended Disk Drive Configurations and Unsupported Disk Drive Combinations, and determine which drive slots to populate with new disk drives. 2 Remove the bezel by pressing the latch on the left side of the bezel (as you face it) and gently pulling to release the left side from the chassis. With the left side open, pull the bezel to the left to release the right side pegs and remove the bezel. 3 Press the latch on the right side of the disk drive blank to release the front lever. Grasp the lever and pull to remove the drive blank from the chassis. 4 With the drive carrier lever open, slide the new disk drive into the chassis. Once the drive is pushed all the way into the chassis, close the drive carrier lever and press until it locks into place. 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each drive blank you replace with a disk drive. 6 Replace the bezel by sliding the pegs on the right side of the bezel into the holes in the chassis. With the left-side latch pressed in, fit the left side of the bezel onto the front of the chassis. When the bezel is positioned correctly, release the latch to lock the bezel in place.

Unsupported Disk Drive Combinations
To Add New Disk Drives to Increase Capacity on a SnapServer N2000 or E2000
1
Review the Recommended Disk Drive Configurations and Unsupported Disk
Drive Combinations, and determine which drive slots to populate with new disk
drives.
2
Remove the bezel by pressing the latch on the left side of the bezel (as you face it)
and gently pulling to release the left side from the chassis.
With the left side
open, pull the bezel to the left to release the right side pegs and remove the bezel.
3
Press the latch on the right side of the disk drive blank to release the front lever.
Grasp the lever and pull to remove the drive blank from the chassis.
4
With the drive carrier lever open, slide the new disk drive into the chassis. Once
the drive is pushed all the way into the chassis, close the drive carrier lever and
press until it locks into place.
5
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each drive blank you replace with a disk drive.
6
Replace the bezel by sliding the pegs on the right side of the bezel into the holes
in the chassis. With the left-side latch pressed in, fit the left side of the bezel onto
the front of the chassis. When the bezel is positioned correctly, release the latch to
lock the bezel in place.
