Chapter 5. Replacing 6-Disk Storage Module with 12-Disk
Storage Module
The 6-Disk Storage Module is the enclosure that holds up to six 3.5” disk drives,
while the 12-Disk Storage Module holds up to twelve 2.5” disk drives. The 12-Disk
Storage Module is supported in the BladeCenter S chassis with a minimum SAS
RAID Controller (RSSM) Firmware code level of 1.3.x.xxx. Before installing the
12-Disk Storage Module, the firmware of both controllers are required to be
updated to the latest version. For the firmware update procedure, please refer to
