Hard Drives
This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS or SATA hard drives in the system's internal
hard-drive bays.
Your system features up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives. All drives connect to the system
board through the SAS/SATA backplane board. See Figure 6-3.
Hard drives are supplied in special hot-
pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.
NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the
optional SAS RAID controller daughter card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-
plug drive removal and insertion.
