Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the hard drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.
Figure 6-6. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the backplane. Do not touch the back-
plane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the
backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
