Step 4. Close the front flap on the drive tray. Make sure the front
flap is closed properly to ensure that the SATA connector
at the back of the drive tray is properly mated with the
corresponding connector on the backplane board. If the
front flap is not closed properly, the connection between
the hard drive and the subsystem may come loose and
mysterious drive signals may result.
Step 5. Lock the flap into place by turning the key-lock until the
groove on its face is pointing down (vertical orientation).

Step 6. Once the drive bays are populated and the subsystem
powered on, the RAID controller will automatically spin
up the hard drives and recognize their presence.
