Figure 6-4. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.
SAS/SATA Drive Installation
Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
The SAS/SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain
in the chassis. To add a new drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed
circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in
Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended
