Installing Hard Drives and Solid State Drives

The qualified and supported part numbers for this component are subject to change over time. For the most
up-to-date list of replaceable components, see the following URL and then scroll to

Tip

You do not have to shut down or power off the server to replace hard drives or SSDs because they are
hot pluggable.

Note

You can mix hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) in the same server. However, You cannot configure
a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a
logical volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.

Note

If you need to make changes to your RAID configuration after installing a hard drive, use the LSI
configuration utility for your mass storage device. See

RAID Controller Considerations, page C-1

for

more information.

Note

The onboard PCIe extender supports connection to a RAID card for up to eight hard drives. An optional
PCIe expander is required for configurations that have more than eight hard drives installed. The LSI
RAID cables that are required for cards added after-factory differ based on which configuration that you
use. See the

“Supported RAID Controllers and Required Cables” section on page C-1

.

Note

The SAS expander cannot be used with the onboard ICH10R controller. You must use a RAID controller
card with the SAS expander.

Note

If your server uses an LSI MegaRAID card for mass storage control, you might hear beeps coming from
the card when you make changes to the drive array. See the

“LSI MegaRAID Card Beep Codes” section

on page C-6

for more information.

Note

Cisco recommends following the industry-standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when
configuring RAID volumes. If you use drives of different capacities, the usable portion of the smallest
drive will be used on all drives of the RAID volume.

Note

The 500 GB SATA drives (A03-D500GC3) and the 1 TB SATA drives (A03-D1TBSATA) that are sold
with the UCS C210 M2 server are supported at 3G speeds. These are 6G drives and might possibly run
faster than 3G in this server, but they are supported to run at minimum 3G speeds.
