Hard Drives

•

The 3.5 inch hard-drive enclosure supports up to twelve hot-swappable 3.5 inch hard drives.

•

The 2.5 inch hard-drive enclosure supports up to twenty-five hot-swappable 2.5 inch hard drives.

•

All hard drives connect to the system board through the hard-drive backplane.

•

Hard drives are supplied in hot-swappable hard-drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive slots.

•

Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard-drive backplane.

When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard
drives can take a number of hours to format.
