Installing a 2.5-inch HDD cage and hard disk drives
If a 2.5-inch HDD cage is installed in this server, four to six SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drives or SSDs (solid state
drive) can be installed.
Combining SATA/SAS Hard Disk Drives and SSDs
•
Hard Disk Drives (SATA/SAS) and SSDs cannot be combined on BTO servers.
•
An optional RAID Controller is required to use SAS Hard Disk Drives together with SSDs.
•
An optional RAID Controller is required to install five or more Hard Disk Drives.
•
You cannot mix them within the same RAID group (pack).
•
You cannot use SAS Hard Disk Drives that have different rotation speeds.
•
Mount SATA/SAS Hard Disk Drives in order from slot 0, and mount the SSDs to the remaining slots.
The N8154-59F 2.5-inch HDD cage, which is a required BTO option, can mount a SAS HDD, and the
N8154-56F 2.5-inch extra HDD cage can mount a SATA HDD, and vice versa.
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.
Important Install the hard disk drives sequentially starting from slot 0.
