9-26 Upgrading Your Server
HDD Cage
Installing an optional HDD cage in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay on the front of the server allows
the server to be equipped with up to four hard disk drives in addition to four drives normally
installable. Hard disk drives are not installed in the HDD cage (except for BTO (built to order)).
Purchase them additionally.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disks not approved by NEC. If an unapproved third
party's hard disk is installed in the server, not only the hard disk
drive but also the server itself may be defected. Purchase hard disk
drives of the following models:
– N8150-199F (36.3GB, 15,000 rpm, SAS)
– N8150-200F (73.2GB, 15,000 rpm, SAS)
– N8150-201F (146.5GB, 15,000 rpm, SAS)
For the disk array configuration, refer to the manual that comes with the
disk array controller.
A hard disk drive having thickness of about 1 inch can be inserted to each of the four slots in the
HDD cage. SCSI ID4 - SCSI ID7 are assigned in the order from bottom to top.
If the optional HDD cage is installed in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay, the cable attached to the
3.5-inch hard disk drive cage should be connected to the SAS connector on the motherboard.
For disk array configuration, connect the cable on the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay to the disk array
controller. Additional hard disk drives to be used should have the same SCSI standard as the normal
hard disk drives (or SAS).
Dummy trays (made of styrofoam ) are inserted to empty slots in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay
(except the bottom slot). This is intended to improve the cooling effect in the server. Always insert a
dummy tray to any slot without a hard disk drive.
IMPORTANT:
A specified dummy tray must be used.
