Hard drive support
The server’s HDD bays support both non-hot-plug and hot-plug SATA drives, as well as hot-plug SAS
drives. The low-end system comes with a single hard drive. The type and capacity of drives vary
based on the server model. Your ProLiant server currently supports the following drive capacities:
•
Non-hot-plug SATA drives – 80-, 160-, 250, and 500-GB
•
Hot-plug SATA drives – 80-, 160-, 250, 500, and 750-GB
•
Hot-plug SAS drives – 36-, 72-, 146-, and 300-GB
The non-hot-plug SATA drive options do not include a carrier. Use the HDD carriers and mounting
screws included with your server to install these drives.
The hot-plug SATA and SAS drive options come with their own hot-plug HDD carrier. Users can
directly install these drives into the server.
Guidelines for installing hard drives
•
Install only hard drive models specified for your ProLiant server. Installing unsupported hard
drives may damage the system by consuming power and generating heat in excess of the
server’s operating tolerance. This condition may result in a loss of system and/or data integrity.
•
Install non-hot-plug drives in the drive carriers included with the server chassis using four of the
six HDD screws pre-installed in each of the two HDD carriers.

The hot-plug hard drive options come with its own HDD carrier. This carrier has two LED
indicators (drive activity and fault identification) to show the hot-plug drive’s current status.
