2.5 SATA/SAS hard disk drives The system comes with two sets of hard disk drive modules. The first set is defaulted and the second set is optional. Each hard disk drive module, including externally removable trays for mounting four hot-swap SATA/SAS hard disk drives, allows you to access the drive trays by simply opening the front bezel. An HDD module cage comes with a SATA or SAS backplane. Take note of the type of HDD module cage you purchase before buying hard disks. The images of the system shown in this section are for reference purposes only and may not exactly match the model you purchase. 2.5.1 Removing the HDD module cage 1. Disconnect all the cables from the SATA/SAS backplane on the HDD module cage. 2. Level the HDD module cage latch counterclockwise. The HDD module cage will be pushed out of the chassis. 3. Remove the HDD module cage. ASUS TS300-E10-PS4/PS8 2-13
