Configuring the storage devices
The system supports up to four 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS/SATA hard disk
drives. An optional optical drive can also be added to the server.
Accessing the drive bays
Since SAS/SATA drives have hot-plug capability, you do not need to
access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or
replace SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to
enable the hot-plug capability of the SATA drives.
Caution: When working around the SATA backplane, do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
cables touch the backplane. Also, regardless of how many SATA
drives are installed, all eight drive carriers must remain in the
chassis to maintain proper airflow.
