4 Install Drive Trays

Drives are mounted in drive trays, which are then installed in drive bays in the ES24 chassis�

Each drive bay in the chassis has two indicator lights to the right of the tray� The upper light is blue when the

drive is active or a hot spare� The lower light is solid red if a fault has occurred�

Press the silver button on the drive tray to open the latch� Carefully slide the tray into a drive bay until the right

side of the latchtouches the metal front edge of the chassis, then gently swing the latch closed until it clicks into

place�

All drive bays must be ﬁlled to maintain proper air ﬂow for cooling. If fewer than 24 drives are connected, ﬁller

blanks must be placed in the empty bays�
