AAMUX Adapter
If your VTrak has dual controllers—Fibre Channel or SAS—and you plan to install
SATA drives, you must install an AAMUX adapter with each SATA drive. AAMUX
adapters are available from Promise Technology.
Installing Disk Drives
1. Remove a disk drive carrier.
2. Carefully lay the drive into the drive carrier at the front, so that the screw
holes on the sides line up.
If you are installing a AAMUX adapters and SATA disk drives:
First attach the adapter to the drive. Then install the mounting screws.
See page 17, Figure 6.
3. Insert the screws through the holes in the drive carrier and into the bottom of
the disk drive. See page 17, Figure 5.
• For the disk drive, install the counter-sink screws supplied with the
VTrak.
• For the adapter, install only the screws supplied with the adapter.
• Install four screws per drive.
• Install two screws per adapter.
• Snug each screw. Be careful not to over tighten.
4. Reinstall the drive carrier into the VTrak chassis.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until all of your disk drives are installed.
Important
• If your VTrak has two RAID controllers and you are installing
SATA disk drives, an AAMUX adapter is required so that both
controllers can access the SATA disk drive. Obtain AAMUX
adapters from Promise Technology, Inc.
• Proper installation ensures adequate grounding and
minimizes vibration. Always install the disk drives using all
four screws.
