INSTALLATION
NOTE: For SAS operation, a SAS controller and SAS hard drive are required.
Blue power switch indicates SAS DX115 receiving frame. Grey power switch
indicates SATA 3Gbps DX115 receiving frame.
SAS DX115 receiving frame supports SAS and SATA drives.
SATA 3Gbps DX115 receiving frame supports SATA drives only (SAS drives
are not supported).
Preparation
NOTE: A #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock
to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the
drive.
1. Remove the drive (not included) from its protective packaging.
2. Remove the drive cover from the DX115 drive carrier (Figure 6) and save the
screws.
Installing the Drive into the Drive Carrier
1. Carefully insert the drive (not included) into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the
Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O connector on the drive mates with the connector
on the Drive Carrier Board (Figure 5). Turn the drive/carrier assembly over.
2. Fasten the drive into place with four (4) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws (Figure 5).
Some drives may require minor adjustment before securing into carrier with screws.
