Figure 6-4. Removing a SAS Drive Carrier
!
Important: All of the SAS drive carriers must remain in the drive
bays to maintain proper cooling airfl ow.
2. Installing/removing hot-swap SAS drives
The SAS drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These
hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the unit
straight out (see Figure 6-4).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SAS drives.
Hard Drive Backplane
The SAS drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the SAS drives.
