CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 5
ORDER SAS EXPANDER AS NEEDED
You must order a SAS Expander if the system will have more than eight disk drives or you plan to
upgrade to over eight disk drives in the future.
If you do not select a SAS Expander, the SAS Extender comes standard with the UCS C210 M2
server chassis. The SAS Extender supports up to eight disk drives. The SAS Extender option is not
field upgradeable to a SAS Expander. Both the SAS Extender and SAS Expander, however, are
field-replaceable. You can replace an extender or expander only with the same type of card.
If desired, select the SAS Expander listed in
Table 7
.
