Intel® Storage System SSR212MA Chassis Bays
Revision 1.4 25
4.1 Hard Disk Drive Bays
The Storage System SSR212MA chassis can support up to twelve carrier-mounted SATA, 3.5
inch x 1 inch, hard disk drives. The SATA drives may be “electrically” hot-swapped while the
system power is applied, i.e., before or during POST. However, the SATA drives should NOT be
hot-swapped while the SAN Management application software is configured and active. See the
Intel® Storage System Software Manual for more information.
NOTE:
1) Drive bays 1 thru 6 are controlled by a single Intel® RAID Controller SRCS28X, while drive bays
7 thru 12 are controlled by a second Intel® RAID Controller SRCS28X
.
2) All drives must be populated in order, from left to right, top to bottom, in drive bay 1 thru drive bay
12, but sequentially distributed across both SRCS28X SATA HBA’s. For example, if only 8 drives
are installed, 6 drives should be inserted into bays 1 thru 6, and two drives inserted into bays 7
and 8.
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
3) Once a particular RAID configuration is applied to the present drives, if the drives are removed
from the system for any reason, they will need to be re-installed in the exact same drive bays
they were removed from. Please use the HDD labels provided in your Storage System
SSR212MA shipping container to number the drives 1 thru 12 prior to removal.
4) If a failed drive needs replacing, it must be replaced with the exact same manufacturer, model,
and size.

System SSR212MA Software User Manual available from Intel Business Link (IBL),
