About this task
The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a drive. For a list

instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
v The system supports support up to fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA hard
disk drives (two 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drives are located at the

v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating.
Using hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to
operate at the throughput speed of the slowest drive.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more
than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
