6. Install the Enclosure to the Rack. Refer to
eDrawer4072S Rack Mounting Guide for details.
Caution: At least two people are required to lift the chassis.
7. Install Drives to the enclosure. Pull the enclosure from the
rack and open the top cover(s).
1. Open the drive
tray cover
3. Insert 3.5" HDD
4. Align the drive screw holes (yellow
circles) with the nubs (yellow arrows)
2. Pull the drive tray slightly
until click is heard
Caution: HDD tray orientations are opposite for every other rows. Be
cautious when installing the drive trays.
It is recommended to install drives per row, to ensure the easiness of
inserting the tool-less trays back to their slots.
8. Drive Mapping of the enclosure is as follows:

Look for Red LED
on the trays to
locate failed drives
9. Establish a Client Connection. The 72-disk volume
(or multiple volumes depending on the RAID configuration) can be
exported through the front LP PCIe Gen3 x8 IO card. SAS, FC, or Ethernet
cables is utilized depending on the IO card and export protocol used.
Connect the cable(s) from the IO card to the client side accordingly. See
below for configuration choices:

Daisy-chain Configuration: Connect SAS cables from the unit’s
expansion ports to a JBOD Up link port (e.g. eDrawer4078J). Each
expansion cable connects to half the storage (39 disks) of
eDrawer4078J. Manage the disks and export accordingly.
10. Plug in the Power Cords to the AC
receptacles on the back of the unit and secure it with
provided cable ties. Turn on the PSU power switch
afterwards.
11. Press the Power Button on the
front of the unit and wait about 30 seconds until the
unit is ready.
Once it’s ready, power up your host unit.
Access the Serial Console (when
necessary) by connecting a serial audio cable to the
debug console port and use a terminal console with
baud rate 38400, 8, N, 1, N.
Type “help –a” for a list of commands.
