Step 2: Mount VTrak in a Rack
The VTrak M310p/M210p subsystem installs directly to the rack with or without
using the optional mounting rails. Refer to Chapter 2 of the VTrak Product Manual
on the software CD for instructions on installing the rails and mounting your
VTrak.
Step 3: Install Disk Drives
You can populate the VTrak with 1.5 GB or 3.0 GB SATA drives. Refer to Chapter
7 of the VTrak Product Manual on the software CD for the number of drives
needed for each RAID configuration.
Install all of the drive carriers into the VTrak enclosure to ensure proper airflow,
even if you do not populate all the carriers with disk drives.
If you use different size disk drives in the same logical drive, the total size of the
logical drive will equal the size of the smallest disk drive times the number of
drives.
Refer to Chapter 2 of the VTrak Product Manual on the software CD for diagrams
showing how the drive slots are numbered.
