8.1.2 Hard Drive and Peripheral Device Bays
The hard drive and peripheral device bays can accommodate the following devices:
Eight hot-swap hard disk drives
One ½-inch optical drive
One half-height 5.25-inch tape backup device
The SAS backplane supports both 2.5-inch SATA and SAS drives.
The optical drive and tape backup drive are not hot-swap devices. System power must be
turned off when installing or removing these drives.
Hard disk drives have different cooling, power, and vibration characteristics; therefore, Intel will
validate specific hard disk drive types in the Intel
®
Server System S7000FC4UR. Refer to the
S7000FC4UR Tested Hardware and Operating System List for of the qualified drives.
The hard drive carriers supplied with the system accommodate only 2.5-inch disk drives. The
hard drive is attached to the carrier with four Phillips* head screws. The carrier is retained in the
chassis by a locking handle.
The SAS backplane contains two LEDs for each hard drive to display status. The LED signal is
transmitted to the front of the system via a light pipe integrated in the hard drive carrier.
The signals for the optical drive are carried from the main board via a signal lane SATA cable.
There is a SATA-to-PATA converter board. The converter board plugs into the optical drive.
