Power and data connectors are pre-installed at the back of the bay. SAS-to-SATA adapters or

additional power and data connections are not required.

●

The blind-mate data cables might require adjustment at the system board, based on the

computer drive configuration. Verify that the blind-mate cable from the applicable hard drive

bay is connected to an appropriate connector in the system board.

NOTE:

SAS connectors on the system board are factory-configured according to the following

rules:

• The primary hard drive is connected to the system board connector labeled SATA-0 or

SAS-0, depending on hard drive type.

• SATA hard drives are plugged into SATA ports, starting with SATA-0.

• SAS hard drives are plugged into SAS ports, starting with SAS-0.

• If the LAST HDD is SATA, cables from empty HDD bays are plugged into SATA ports. If

the LAST hard drive is SAS, cables from empty hard drive bays are plugged into SAS ports.

●

When mixing SATA and SAS hard drive types, verify that the hard drive data cable is

connected to the system board in a manner consistent with the drive type and rules above.

the bay.

To attach the rails to the hard drive:

Gently open the rails (1).

The connectors on the rear of the drive should face toward the tabs on the carrier rails.

Align the four carrier pins with the holes in the hard drive, and snap the rails into place (3).
