To install a drive cage

  1. Position the cage in the chassis using the cage hinge pins and the holes in the chassis brackets for alignment.
  2. Flex the chassis to allow the hinge pins to seat.
  3. Secure with the single screw in the front and tighten two screws, one on the side and one on the bottom of the server.

Install the SAS/SATA backplane:

  1. Place the bottom edge of the backplane in the lower lip of the cage.
  2. Rotate the top of the backplane toward the cage and over the locating pins and secure with the two screws.

Connect the Power and signal cables to the backplane.

Install the front system fan assembly:

  1. Insert the assembly retaining tab over the front edge of the hard disk drive backplane and then rotate the assembly down far enough to route the cables through the openings in the assembly.
  2. Ensure that the cables will not be pinched then rotate the assembly down until latched in place.

Return the drive cage to its operational position:

  1. Rotate the cage up, press the cage release tab and rotate the cage down far enough to connect the fan cable to the system board.
  2. Rotate the drive cage down until latched in place.

Return the server to its operational position.

Install the hot-swap hard drives and filler plates:

  1. Ensure that the drive tray handle is in the open position.
  2. Align the drive tray assembly so that it engages the guide rails in the bay.
  3. Gently push the assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the backplane.
  4. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
  5. To install a filler plate, position the plate into the bay and press in until seated.

    Use the same procedure to install any additional drives or filler plates.

Install the lower bezel:

  1. Insert the two tabs at the bottom of the lower bezel into the slots in the chassis and then rotate the top of the lower bezel toward the server until it latches in place.

Install the side cover:
