To modify the 1.6-inch carriers to 1-inch width, remove the spacer insert. NOTE: To remove the spacer insert, use a screwdriver to pry open the clips on the inside of the carrier release handle, and pull the spacer insert away from the carrier.

NOTE: The 1 x 2 backplane sets the top drive to SCSI ID0 and the bottom drive to SCSI ID1. 6 Dell PowerEdge 6300 and 4300 Systems 1 x 2 Backplane Installation Information
