Internal disk storage options
The HS23E server has two hot-swap drive bays accessible from the front of the blade server. These bays
are connected to the integrated ServeRAID C105 Controller supplying basic software RAID capabilities
for SATA hard drives. An optional ServeRAID H1135 Controller with hardware RAID capabilities is
required to support SAS HDDs, SATA SSDs, and external SAS-based storage attachments. The following
table lists the RAID controllers used for the internal disk storage of the HS23E server.
