The FortiMail-2000B unit has six 3.5-inch drive bays. All chassis support hot-swappable
SAS and SATA hard drives.
All drives are installed at the front of the system and connect to the system board through
the SAS backplane. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-swappable hard-drive carriers
that fit in the hard-drive bays.
Caution: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so
can cause a drive failure
Note: Use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS backplane
board.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be
aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.
