Installing SATA drives
CAUTION:
•
The SATA drives are hot swappable. You can install a SATA drive, or remove a SATA drive in
RAID configuration as indicated by the LED without power off the device. To remove a SATA drive
not in RAD configuration, you must first power off the device.
•
Before using a SATA drive, execute the
fdisk
and
format
commands to partition the SATA
drive and clear all data in the SATA drive.
•
For system identification, use SATA drives dedicated for the device.
•
Hold a SATA drive by two sides and do not touch any components of the drive, or squeeze,
shake, or strike the drive.
•
To prevent ESD damage, install a filler panel in a SATA drive slot not in use.
To install a SATA drive:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Remove the filler panel from the SATA drive slot and keep the removed filler panel secure.
3.
Press the red button on the SATA drive tray to release the locking lever.
4.
Push the SATA drive slowly into the slot along the guide rails and then close the locking lever.
