Replacing Hard Drives

The SCv2080 storage system supports up to 84 3.5‐inch hot‐swappable hard drives installed in a two‐
drawer, three‐row, 14‐column configuration. Hard drives are connected to a backplane using Disk Drive in
Carrier (DDIC) hard drive carriers.

SCv2080 Storage System Drive Numbering

In the SCv2080 storage system, the drive slots are numbered 1–42 in the top drawer and 43–84 in the
bottom drawer. Dell Storage Client identifies drives as XX-YY, where XX is the number of the unit ID of
the storage system, and YY is the drive position inside the storage system.
