Component Compatibility
The use of compatible components is strongly recommended to ensure compatibility,
quality and normal operation with your system. Please contact your vendor for a list
of compatible components.
2.1
Before You Start
Some components are configured into fault-tolerant pairs and are independently
hot-swappable while the failure of other components such as server board or the
RAID controller can cause a down time.
2.1.1
Hot-swappable components
Power supplies (PSUs)
HDDs in drive trays (RAID-5 configuration allows 1 hard drive to fail at any given
time without data lost; RAID-6 configuration allows 2 hard drives to fail at the
same time at any given time without data lost. Please refer to the Software
Operation Manual for RAID configuration details and the maintenance section of
this manual on how to replace hard disk drives)
Controllers
Cooling modules (selected systems only)
2.1.2
Airflow concerns
Allow 20cm of ventilation clearance in front and rear of the enclosure. Make sure
cables are also placed well clear of the ventilation area behind the enclosure.
