Features Preface
Hard disk drives
Two basic versions of the server are available, fitted with either SATA or SAS
hard disk drives.
– Server with SATA hard disk drives:
With the standard design, the server has a drive cage in which up to two
SATA hard disk drives with an EasyChange installation frame and a
maximum height of 1 inch are fitted. There is a wire connection to the
controller. Defective hard disk drives cannot be replaced during operation.
The server can optionally be upgraded with a SATA backplane. Up to two
SATA HDD modules can then be used in the drive cage. Each HDD module
can accommodate a SATA hard disk drive with a maximum height of 1 inch.
The module is connected to the SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD
modules to be plugged in and pulled out easily. If the server has a corre-
sponding RAID configuration, defective HDD modules can also be replaced
during operation.
– Server with SAS hard disk drives:
Up to two SAS HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD
module can accommodate a SAS hard disk drive with a maximum height of
1 inch. The modules are connected to the SAS backplane wirelessly. This
allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily. If the server has
a corresponding RAID configuration, defective HDD modules can also be
replaced during operation.
