Hard disk drives
The system supports four hot-swap SATAII/SAS hard disk drives and two SATAIII hard disk drives*. The hard
disk drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard SATA/SAS ports via the SATA/SAS
backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATA/SAS HDD
1.
Release a drive tray by pushing the spring lock to the right, then pulling the tray lever outward.
The drive tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.
