Hard Disk Drive

The hard disk drive is an optional device. An operating system may be installed in the hard disk
drive. Handle it carefully.

1 Hard disk drive
2 BP connector

Used to connect with the hard disk drive backplane in the CPU blade.

3 Drive carrier
4 Disk access lamp (green/amber)

Lights green in accessing to a hard disk drive.
Lights amber if a fault occurs in a hard disk drive. Blinks green or amber alternately or blinks
amber while array disks are rebuilt. However, when hard disk drives are operated in the array
configuration using SW RAID, the disk access lamp operates only in the OS boot status.

5 Lever

The lever is intended to fix the hard disk drive. Pull the lever to remove the hard disk drive.

6 Handle

Hold the handle when the hard disk drive is installed or removed.
