Feedback

Your system supports up to four 3.5-inch 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

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.

Caution: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive

blanks installed

slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay. See Figure 1.

installation. See the documentation provided with your operating system for more

information.
