SCA Backplane
The SCSI drives plug into a SAF-TE compliant SCA backplane that provides
power, SCSI ID and bus termination (see Figure 6-5). A RAID controller can be
used with the SCA backplane to provide data security. The operating system you
use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SCSI drive.
Figure 6-4. Removing SCSI Drives
2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives:
The SCSI drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them
easily accessible for installation and removal. The SCSI drives are hot-
swappable units, meaning that they can be installed and removed while the
system is powered up and running. To remove a SCSI drive, first push the
release button located beside the drive's LEDs, then swing the handle fully
out and use it to pull the SCSI drive carrier straight out (see Figure 6-4).
