3. Remove the top cover by removing the 8 screws on
the top of the unit and slide the cover towards the back of the
unit.
Remove additional 3 screws (blue circles) to open the middle
top cover (for backplane access).
4. Inspect the internal of the chassis. By default, it
consists of an Asrock EP2C602-2T/D16 motherboard, a set of
backplanes, blower modules, PCIe riser cards for IO cards, and
an option of an expander module or a drive bracket depending
on the order SKU.

See illustration below for the data path from disk devices to
the host. Two options are available: through an expander (red
path), and with no expander (purple path).
For expander mode, a set of SAS cables are routed from
backplanes to expander board and then a choice of routing to
an IO card or an on-board SCU port (SAS2/SATA3 6Gb/s).

For a non-expander SKU, in place of expander board, an OS
disk bracket occupies the space. Due to an absence of the
expander board, to access all 20 drives from the front bay, an
IO card with five SAS ports is required, e.g. Adaptec 72405.
