2.2 Installing Hard Drives
Hard drives are purchased separately. When purchasing hard drives, please consider
the following factors:
2.2.1 Hard Disk Drive Prerequisites
Capacity (MB/GB)
: Use hard drives that have the same capacity and rotation speeds.
RAID arrays use a “least-common-denominator” approach meaning the maximum
capacity used in each drive for comprising a logical configuration is the maximum
capacity of the smallest drive.
Profile
: The enclosure drive bays are designed for
3.5-inch wide x 1-inch pitch hard drives.
Drive Interface Type
: The enclosure accommodates SATA-II (3Gbps) and SATA-III
(6Gbps) hard drives up to 3TB in capacity per hard disk drive.
NOTE
Only install hard drives into the server after the system has been placed in the desired
setup location. If the hard drives are installed first, the system may be too heavy to
handle and the possible impact during installation may damage your hard drives.
DO NOT
attempt to shift or tilt the system once the system has powered on to avoid
damaging the hard drives.
NEVER
remove two hard drive trays out of the system at the same time!
