Hard Disk Drives
The SBI-7427R-S2L blade unit accommodates up to two 2.5" SATA/SAS/SSD hard disk
drives, which are mounted in drive “trays”. The drives can be hot-swapped and removed
or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in. The two drives can be
used to set up a RAID array (RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 Windows, RAID 0, 1 or 10 Linux or RAID
0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50 SAS) or JBOD. These drives use a blue color for the Blade HDD
active LED. See
Chapter 1 for information on RAID Setup.
For RAID setup see http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ under RAID
Installation Guides for details.
Caution: To maintain proper airflow, both hard drive bays must have drive carriers inserted
during operation whether or not a drive is installed in the tray.
WARNING: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web site
