In terms of hot-swap configurations, the server comes with either eight 3.5-inch
SAS/SATA or eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap hard disk drive bays. Most
models contain a ServeRAID SAS controller. The 2.5-inch models are capable of
expansion to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap hard disk drive bays while
the 3.5-inch models are capable of expansion to twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
hot-swap hard disk drive bays.
Note: The ID for each bay is printed on the server front, above each bay.
The following illustration shows a server with eight 2.5-inch simple-swap hard
disk drive bays. You can purchase an optional kit to install the eight additional
2.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drives to upgrade the server to sixteen 2.5-inch
simple-swap hard disk drive bays.
Note: The basic 2.5-inch simple-swap model supports SATA simple-swap hard
disk drives only. With the simple-swap serveRAID function, it supports SATA and
SAS simple-swap hard disk drives.
