Installing Your Adaptec Enclosure into a Rack 1 Ensure that you have these rackmount kit components: • Front rails (1 left, 1 right) • Rear rails, two different lengths (2 left, 2 right) • 20 nuts (10 each of two different types) • 4 small screws and 10 large screws 2 Secure the front rails to the front supports of the rack, using the screws or nuts included in the kit. (Use the nuts if your rack does not have threaded holes.
4 Remove the plastic covers from the enclosure’s rackmount ears. Caution The enclosure is heavy.

Installing Additional Disk Drives If the SANbloc S50 enclosure came with 4 drives installed, you can install up to 8 additional disk drives. The enclosure supports up to 12 SAS or 12 SATA disk drives, or a combination of both (up to 12 drives total). Caution Acclimate new disk drives to room temperature before you install them. Before You Begin While you can combine SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure; you cannot combine SAS and SATA drives in the same column of drives.
Unsupported Disk Drive Combinations Do not include SAS and SATA disk drives in the same column. Do not place a column of SATA disk drives between two columns of SAS disk drives. Installing the Disk Drives 1 Select an open drive slot. 2 Hold the disk drive with the LEDs on the left and the lever fully open. 3 Slide the disk drive into the drive slot until the lever starts to close.
4 Gently push the lever until it meets the latch on the left side of the drive slot and clicks into place. 5 Repeat for all remaining disk drives. Note To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a disk drive or a blank drive carrier must be installed in every slot of the enclosure.
