Hard Disk Drive (HDD) / Solid State Drive (SSD)
The CPU blade can contain up to two 2.5-inch hard disk drives (SAS/SATA) or solid state drive (SATA). This
section describes SAS hard disk drive as an example.
See the next and the subsequent sections for installation order and installation location.
Important
•
The hard disk drive is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to touch
the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body
before handling the hard disk drive. Do not touch the terminals and parts on the
hard disk drive by a bare hand and place the hard disk drive directly on the desk.
For static notes, refer to “
Handling precautions (for Anti-static Measures)
”.
•
An optional hard disk drive may contain operating system. Be very careful when
handling the drive.
•
Do not use any hard disk drives not approved by NEC. If an unapproved third
party's hard disk drive is installed in the CPU blade, not only the hard disk drive
but also the CPU blade may be defected.
•
If hard disk drives of different disk capacities co-exist in the CPU Blade, the
system can operate normally. However, to use the hard disk drives in RAID
configuration, use hard disk drives of the same model number.
•
Do not give any impact and/or vibration to hard disk drive. In addition, do not
push the surface of hard disk drive when installing or removing it. Doing so may
cause a damage to the drive.
•
Use a hard disk drive mounted in a dedicated drive tray. Do not remove the hard
disk drive from tray, or mount another hard disk drive in the tray. Doing so may
cause device failure.
