to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. You
must use standard 1" high, SATA drives in the system.

The SC217HQ+ chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node
drawers. Each serverboard node controls a set of six hard drives. Note that if a
serverboard node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated
with that node will power down as well.
