Installing The SAS Chain Cable(s)

  • CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
  1. Remove the cooling fan module from one side on the back of the chassis.
    • CAUTION: If you are hot swapping the SAS cable chains, ensure that you complete the procedure on one side within ten minutes to avoid over heating of the storage enclosure.
  2. Locate and identify the SAS chain cables for the new physical-disk drawer.
  3. Connect the chain cable mounting bracket (oriented horizontally) to the physical-disk drawer.
  4. Connect the chain cable mounting bracket (oriented vertically) to the midplane.
  5. Install the cooling fan module.
  6. Repeat the above mentioned steps for the SAS cable chain on the other side.
