Mount Vtrak In A Rack; Install Disk Drives - Promise Technology VTRAK 15100 Guide De Démarrage Rapide

Step 2: Mount VTrak in a Rack
The VTrak installs directly to the rack with or without using the supplied mounting
rails. See the VTrak 15100 User Manual for instructions on installing the rails and
mounting the VTrak.
Step 3: Install Disk Drives
You can populate the VTrak with SATA or PATA drives. PATA drives require an
optional Promise PATA-to-SATA Adapter. Refer to Chapter 7 of the VTrak 15100
User Manual for the number of drives needed for each RAID configuration.
Install all 15 drive carriers into the VTrak to ensure proper airflow, even if you do
not populate all the carriers with disk drives.
If you use different sized disk drive in the same logical drive, the total size of the
logical drive will equal to the size of the smallest physical disk drive times the
number of drives.
The disk drives are numbered from left (drive 1) to right (drive 15).
