Task 3: Installing Disk Drives

You can populate the VessJBOD with SAS or SATA hard disk drives. For optimal
performance, install physical drives of the same model and capacity.

Drive Slot Numbering

You can install any suitable disk drive into any slot in the enclosure. The diagram
below shows how VessJBOD's drive slots are numbered.

Install all of the drive carriers into the VessJBOD enclosure to ensure proper
airflow, even if you do not populate all the carriers with disk drives.

Installing Your Disk Drives

1. Remove a disk drive carrier.
2. Carefully lay the disk drive into the drive carrier at the front, so that the screw
holes on the sides line up.
3. Insert the screws through the holes in the drive carrier and into the sides of
the disk drive.
• Install only the counter-sink screws supplied with the VessJBOD.
• Install four screws per drive.
• Snug each screw. Be careful not to over-tighten.
4. Reinstall the drive carrier into the VessJBOD chassis.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all of your disk drives are installed.
