6-9 Installing and Removing Hard Drives
The SC217 chassis features 24 drive bays that are accessable for drive replacement
from the front of the chassis. The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify
their installation and removal. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the drive bays.
The chassis contains two individual serverboards in separate node drawers. Each
serverboard node controls a set of six hard drives. If a node drawer is pulled out
of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that node will power down as well.
