Disk drives
The disk drives are standard 3.5-inch (8.75-cm) by 1.0-inch (2.54-cm)
serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) or serial attached
SCSI (SAS) drives. AX4–5 systems also support 2.5–inch SAS drives
mounted in 3.5–inch drive carriers. For a detailed list of supported
disk drives and the minimum revision of the FLARE
®
operating
environment (OE) that supports each disk, refer to the Disk and FLARE
OE Matrix under “Technical description” on the Learn page on the
storage-system support website or contact your service provider.
Drive carrier
The disk drive carrier is a plastic assembly that provides smooth,
reliable contact with the enclosure slot guides and system board
connectors. It has a handle with a latch and spring clips. The latch
holds the disk module in place to ensure proper connection with the
connectors.
