Performance features Preface
Hard disk drives
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
– For up to four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to four SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each
HDD module can accommodate a SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a
maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA
backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in and pulled
out easily.
As an option, a hard disk extension box (with a maximum of two SAS/SATA
HDD modules) can be installed (see section “Accessible drives” on
page 14).
I Up to four SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the onboard SATA
controller. An additional SAS/SATA RAIDcontroller must be installed
to control additional SATA hard disk drives or SAS hard disk drives.
Hybrid configurations of SAS and SATA HDD modules within one drive cage
are not supported.
– For up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to eight SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each
HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive 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.
As an option, a hard disk extension box (with a maximum of eight SAS/SATA
HDD modules) can also be installed (see section “Accessible drives” on
page 14).
I Up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the
SAS/SATA RAID controller already installed.The hard disk extension
box for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives requires an additional
SAS/SATA RAID controller.
Hybrid configurations of SAS and SATA HDD modules are not supported.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also
be replaced during operation.
