drive with a maximum height of 15 mm.
●
8*2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSD + RDX drive:
up to eight (2x4) HDD modules, each with a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk
drive with a maximum height of 15 mm, and a 3.5-inch RDX drive.
●
8*2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSD + LTO drive:
up to eight (2x4) HDD modules, each with a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk

16*2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSD:
up to sixteen (4x4) HDD modules, each with a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk
drive with a maximum height of 15 mm.
The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane without cables. This
allows HDD modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out (for further details see
the "FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2520 M1 Server Upgrade and
Maintenance Manual").
The hard disk subsystem is designed for SAS/SATA, each with one channel for
each hard disk drive.
If the server has a RAID configuration, the HDD modules can be exchanged
during operation (hot-swap).
Onboard SAS/SATA controller
A SAS/SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four SAS or
SATA hard disk drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI Embedded
MegaRAID software (Software RAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10. The
SAS functionality needs to be enabled separately by using an onboard SAS
enabling key.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
onboard SAS/SATA controller" on page 78.
SAS/SATA RAID controller
The server is available with the following SAS/SATA RAID controllers for
operating the internal SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
