1.4.5. Drive Carrier Module
The Drive Carrier module includes a hard disk mounted in a carrier.
Each drive slot will house a single Low Profile 1.0 inch high, 3.5 inch
form factor disk drive in its carrier. The carrier has mounting loca-
tions for SAS or SATA drives. SATA drives require the installation of
the Active/Active MUX transition card.
The front cap supports an ergonomic handle which provides the
following functions:
✦ Insertion and removal of the drive carrier.
✦ Positive spring loading of the drive/backplane connector.
✦ An anti-tamper lock operated by a torx socket type key.
✦ Drive Status LEDs
