System Storage and Peripheral Drive Bays Overview
The Intel
®
Storage Server System JBOD2000 product family supports the following storage
device options:
Hot-swap 2.5” hard disk drives
Hot-swap 3.5” hard disk drives
3.1
2.5” Hard Disk Drive Support
The server is available in 2.5” hard disk configurations of 24 drives as illustrated below.
Figure 10. 2.5" Hard Drive Bay – 24-Drive Configuration
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive types within a
common hot-swap backplane is not supported. Systems with multiple hot-swap backplanes can
support different drive type configurations as long as the drives attached to a common
backplane are the same and the installed controller attached to the given backplane can support
the drive type. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type of host bus controller used, SATA
only or SAS.
Each 2.5” hard disk drive is mounted to a drive tray, allowing for hot-swap extraction and
insertion. Drive trays have a latching mechanism that is used to extract and insert the drives
from the chassis, and lock the tray in place.
