7.1 Basic information
The hard disk drives or solid state drives which can be ordered for the
PRIMERGY RX200 S8 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so
that defective drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during
operation. The hard disk drive or solid state drive and the installation frame
together make up the HDD module or SSD module.
The server is shipped with one of the following configurations:
– configuration with up to four HDD/SSD modules and optional ODD
– configuration with up to eight HDD/SSD modules
Each HDD/SSD module can accommodate a SAS/SATA hard disk drive or
SATA solid state drive with a 2.5-inch format. The HDD/SSD modules are
connected to the HDD backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD/SSD modules to
be plugged in or pulled out easily. If the server has a corresponding RAID
configuration, defective HDD/SSD modules can also be replaced during
operation.
Hybrid configurations of SAS and SATA HDD/SSD modules are not supported.
I For information on RAID controllers controlling the HDD/SSD modules
see chapter "Expansion cards and backup units" on page 135.
7.1.1 General equipping rules
– Solid state drives (SSDs) are always equipped before installing hard disk
drives.
– If only one HDD/SSD module is installed, the HDD/SSD module will be
installed in position 1. Free bays must be equipped with a dummy module.
