Hard Drives
You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or swap
drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. You must use standard 1" high, 2.5" drives
in the system.
Note: Refer to the following FTP site for setup guidelines: <ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/
SAS/LSI/LSI_SAS_EmbMRAID_SWUG.pdf> and Supermicro's web site for additional
inmformation < http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/>.
The SC217 chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node drawers. Each
motherboard node controls a set of six hard drives. Note that if a motherboard node drawer is
pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that node will power down as well.
