Installing the Storage Enclosure
Step 3: Installing the Drive Carriers
These instructions assume that the drive carriers have already been
attached to your disk drives.
Caution:
Acclimate new disk drives to room temperature
before you install them and power up the Storage Enclosure.
To install the drive carriers into the Storage Enclosure:
1
Hold the drive carrier with the LEDs on the left side (at the bottom
for tower-mounted systems) and select an open disk drive slot.
Note:
It is easier to install the drive carriers from left to
right on the Storage Enclosure.
2
With the cam lever of the drive slot fully open, slide the carrier
into the slot until the lever starts to close.
3
Push the cam lever until it engages the latch on the left side of
the carrier assembly and clicks into place.
4
Repeat for all drive carriers.
Note:
Either a drive carrier or a carrier blank must be installed
in all the slots of the enclosure to maintain proper airflow and
cooling.
When all drive carriers are installed, continue with
Step 5: Connect
Power Cords to the APC Modules.
Step 4: Connecting the I/O Cables
To connect the I/O cables to your Storage Enclosure, follow the
instructions provided for your specific Storage Enclosure interface:
For a SATA interface (Adaptec FS4100 or FS4500), see
page 2-10
.
For an FC interface (Adaptec FC4100), see
page 2-11
.
For an Ultra320 SCSI interface (Adaptec SC4100), see
page 2-12
