Hard Disk Drives

®
The Intel Entry Storage System SS4200-E chassis can support up to four SATA, 3.5 inch x 1
inch, hard disk drives. The SATA drives cannot be "electrically" hot-swapped while the system
power is applied, i.e., after POST (Power On Self Test). To replace a hard disk drive the system
must be powered off prior to removing / replacing the disk drive.
NOTE:
1) The disk drive numbering and ordering shown relates to the LEDs on the front panel numbered 1-
4. This assumes the cables from the SATA1, SATA2, SATA3 and SATA4 connectors are
connected to disk drives 1, 2, 3 and 4 as shown. If the disk drives are cabled SATA1 – HDD1,
SATA2 – HDD2, SATA3 – HDD3 and SATA4 – HDD4 the LEDs should illuminate accordingly.
2) 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 same location they were
removed from.
3)
If a failed drive needs replacing, it should be replaced with the exact same manufacturer, model,
and size.
4)
For more information on configuring supported RAID levels, refer to the Intel® Storage
System SS4200-E Software User Guide available from Intel Business Link (iBL),
support.intel.com, or your Intel sales representative.

4.1.1 Hard Disk Drive Retention Bracket Assembly

Each hard drive used in the system must be mounted in the hard disk drive retention bracket
assembly. This assembly has been engineered and designed with three goals in mind:
•
system board, fan and power supply serviceability
•
ease of insertion and removal of a disk drive and
