6. 2 8 Hard Drive Installation 2 8 1 Hard Drive Installation Overview WARNING 1 Hard drives are very delicate and must be handled with extreme care Dropping a drive onto a hard surface even over a short distance hitting or touching the circuits on the drives with your tools may all cause damage to the drives 2 Observe all ESD prevention methods when installing drives The ES A16F supports both SATA and PATA hard drives The drive trays are pre installed with SATA to SATA MUX kits If you wish to install PATA drives SATA to PATA MUX kits must be separately purchased and independently installed Note also that the single controller models and the dual redundant controller models use different MUX kits If you upgrade the subsystem the MUX kits must be changed 2 8 2 Hard Drive Installation Prerequisites NOTE The hard drive and drive trays should only be installed into the subsystem after the subsystem has been mounted into a cabinet If the hard drives are installed first the subsystem will be too heavy and mounting it into the cabinet will be far more difficult Hard drives for the ES A16F subsystem must be purchased separately When purchasing the hard drives the following factors must be considered Capacity MB GB Use drives with the same capacity RAID arrays use a least common denominator approach The maximum capacity of each drive used in the array is the maximum capacity of the smallest drive Profile
7. The drive trays and bays of the system are designed for 3 5 inch wide x 1 inch high hard drives It is highly recommended that you do not try to use drives of any other size Drive type The ES A16F subsystem can use either SATA or PATA hard drives Please ensure that you purchase the correct hard drives 2 8 3 SATA Drive Installation The drive trays already come fitted with SATA to SATA MUX kits therefore SATA drives can be immediately installed into the drive trays Step 1 Correctly orient the hard drive Prior to installing the hard drive into the drive tray make sure that the connector at the back of the drive is facing the back of the drive tray This connector is connected to the MUX kit Hard Drive Installation 2 11 EonStor A16F S1211 R1211 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual Step 2 Insert the hard drive Hold the drive at an angle and insert it into the drive tray See Figure 2 8 Figure 2 8 Insert the Hard Drive into the Drive Tray Step 3 Connect the drive to the MUX kit Once the drive tray is laying flat in the drive tray slide it towards the rear of the drive tray until a solid connection between the drive connector and the MUX kit connector has been made See Figure 2 9 Figure 2 9 Connect the SATA Drive to the SATA to SATA MUX Kit Step 4 Insert retention screws After the drive has been properly connected to the SATA to SATA MUX kit insert four 4 retention screws to ens
