Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive guidelines
Figure 4-24: Hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive ID
numbers
When adding SAS hard drives to the server, observe the following general
guidelines:
•
The server supports eight SAS or SATA hot-plug hard drives.
•
The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
•
If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number.
•
Hard drives must be SFF types.
•
Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency
when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
