SATA Backplane/Drives
As a system, the HPE Apollo kl20 server supports the use of twelve SATA drives. A single
SATA backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions but, at
the same time, logically connects a set of three SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently,
RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme—that is, RAID cannot be spread across all twelve
drives. See section
“Installing and Removing Disk Drives”
for the logical hard drive and node
configuration.
