2.1.2 SATA hard disks
SATA hard drive installation requires an AA-MUX adapter to be installed
on the hard disk tray first before installing the SATA hard disk.
AA-MUX Adapter
Because of the relatively high prices of SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives
are more widely used at the moment. AA-MUX adapter is equipped with
SATA connector on one end and SAS connector on the other end to
enable RAID system connetions.
Follow the procedures below to install SATA hard disks:
1. Place the AA-MUX adapter on the hard disk tray and attach the four
screws as shown.
Note
AA-MUX is an optional accessory and is sold separately. Contact your
supplier to purchase one.
