Installing and Removing Disk Drives
You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to install or replace SATA
drives.
The server chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node drawers. Each
motherboard node controls a set of three hard drives. Note that if a motherboard node drawer is
pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that node will power down as well.
Figure 5-4
shows the motherboard drawers and associated disk drives.
Table 5-1
itemizes the
correspondence of motherboards and disk drives.
