module into a disk bay until it contacts the baseboard and begins to engage the handle.
Press down on the handle until it latches which will cam the module into place.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 above to install all the remaining disks.
6. After you have installed all the disk modules (and blank modules), close the enclosure
cover. Ensure that both cover release handles are latched.
7. Depress the locking tab on the enclosure rails and carefully push the unit back into
place until the front release tabs engage.
2.7 Powering Up the SS8460
NOTE : The SS8460 “sequences” the power supplied to the disk drives on start-up to
prevent an over-current condition. Different manufacturers, types, and
capacities of the disk drives used will vary in the amount of time that the
disks become “ready”. In most cases, waiting approximately one minute
from power-on will ensure that all disks are ready and available to the host
operating system.
