Hard drives
Depending on the configuration, your system supports one of the following:
Four hard-drive systems
Up to four 3.5-inch cabled hard drives, or
Up to four 3.5-inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives, or SATA SSDs or
Up to four 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives, or SATA SSDs
Eight hard-drive systems
Up to eight 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS hard drives, SATA hard drives, or SATA SSDs
Ten hard-drive systems
Up to ten 2.5-inch hot-swappable SATA hard drives or SATA SSDs
Note: SSD/SAS/SATA hard drives cannot be mixed in a system.
The hot-swappable hard drives connect to the system board through the hard-drive backplane.
Hot-swappable hard drives are supplied in hot-swappable hard-drive carriers that fit in the hard-
drive slots.
CAUTION Before attempting to remove or install a hot-swappable hard drive while the system
is running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host
adapter is configured correctly to support hot-swap hard drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION Do not turn off or reboot your system while the hard drive is being formatted. Doing
so can cause a hard drive failure.
Note: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard-drive
backplane.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware
that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.
