TX1320 M3 Operating Manual 15
Hard disk drives (HDDs)
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
– For up to two non hot-plug 3.5-inch SATA HDDs:
Up to two 3.5-inch SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each
HDD module can accommodate a SATA HDD with a maximum height of 1
inch.
– For up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDDs:
Up to four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in each of the two
bays of the drive cage. Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA
HDD with a 2.5-inch format. The modules are connected to the SAS/SATA
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.
Onboard SATA controller
A SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four SATA HDDs can
be connected to the controller. The LSI Embedded MegaRAID software (SATA
Software RAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
onboard SATA controller" on page 80.
