L OCATION
It is important that you install the drives in the correct drive
slot, and in correct expansion unit if you have a GigaStor
Expandable. Failure to install the drives in the proper order
will result in poor read/write performance or possibly RAID
array failure.
3 Push the latch in all the way until it clicks.
4 Repeat until all drives are in the chassis. For the GigaStor
Expandable continue with B1-B16 and C1-C16 as appropriate.
5 If you are installing a GigaStor Expandable, you must also connect
the cables. See “Connecting the GigaStor Expandable to the
expansion units” on page 52. Otherwise, continue with “Installing
the GigaStor and connecting the cables” on page 19.
