1. Remove the Fusion R400S RAID from its packaging, and place it

on a flat, level surface.

2. If you intend to use the Fusion enclosure in a rack, install the

Sonnet rack slide set (or equivalent), sold separately:

•

FUS-RSS-P for 17–21.5" deep racks

•

FUS-RSS-S for 23–26.5" deep racks

•

FUS-RSS for 27–30.5" deep racks

•

FUS-RSS-L for 29–32.5" deep racks

3. Push in a drive tray’s handle until it pops out (Figure 1). Pull the

handle toward you to slide out and remove the drive tray.

4. Remove a SATA drive from its packaging and set it in on a flat,

level surface with the label side down. Open the supplied tube
of threadlocker and apply a single drop to each of the four screw
holes on the bottom of the drive

(Figure 2).

5. Turn the drive tray upside down and lay it on top of the drive,

with the back of the tray facing toward the drive’s connectors
(Figure 3).

6. Using four of the supplied screws, secure the drive tray to the

drive; tighten each screw to secure the tray snugly to the drive;
do not overtighten the screws (Figure 3).

7. Carefully slide the drive module (label side up) back into the

enclosure until it stops, and then push the handle in until it
clicks to secure the drive module inside the enclosure

(Figure 4).

8. Repeat steps 3 – 7 for the remaining drives, and then install the

Fusion R400S RAID into the rack or set it on the surface which it
will reside.

1. Using the supplied locking eSATA cable, connect the Fusion

R400S RAID to your computer.

Support Note:

The supplied locking eSATA cable is compatible

with all eSATA ports and provides a far more secure connection

when used with Sonnet drive enclosures and host controller cards with
the matching port. If necessary, you may remove the locking mechanism
from the connector by removing the screws securing the two halves.

WARNING:

When handling computer products, take care to

prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;

avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle hard drives only by their
edges and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.

WARNING:

When securing the trays to the hard drives, you

must verify the screw heads are flush with the tray. Otherwise,

a screw may catch on the enclosure and prevent you from removing it.
