2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive
By replacing the internal 3.5-inch HDD cage with optional 2.5-inch HDD cage, the 2.5-inch Hard Disk Drives
can be installed.
You can install up to 4 2.5-inch SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drives or solid state drives (SSDs) inside the server.
Combining SATA/SAS Hard Disk Drives and SSDs
•
Hard Disk Drives (SATA/SAS) and SSDs cannot be combined on BTO servers.
•
A RAID Controller option must be prepared to use SAS Hard Disk Drives together with SSDs.
•
You cannot mix them within the same RAID group (Disk Array).
•
You cannot use a combination of Hard Disk Drives that have differing rotation speeds for SAS Hard Disk
Drives.
•
Mount SATA/SAS hard drives in order from slot 0, and mount the SSDs to the remaining slots.
Important Use Hard Disk Drives specified by NEC. Installing a third-party Hard Disk
Drive might cause a failure of the server and the Hard Disk Drive. You will be
charged for maintenance for failures and damage caused by these products,
even during the maintenance period.
