Storage Drives
The 6049P-E1CR45H/L/L+ storage server supports forty-five 3.5" hot-swap drives as main
storage. In addition, it supports two 2.5" hot-swap drives at the chassis rear. All drives are
mounted in tool-less carriers to simplify their removal. These carriers also help promote
proper airflow.
Drive Carrier Indicators
Each drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. In
RAID configurations, the status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID
configurations, the status indicator remains off. See the table below for details.
