Hard Disk Drive Bays

The Storage System SSR212MA chassis can support up to twelve carrier-mounted SATA, 3.5

inch x 1 inch, hard disk drives. The SATA drives may be "electrically" hot-swapped while the

system power is applied, i.e., before or during POST. However, the SATA drives should NOT be

hot-swapped while the SAN Management application software is configured and active. See the

Intel® Storage System Software Manual for more information.

NOTE:

1) Drive bays 1 thru 6 are controlled by a single Intel® RAID Controller SRCS28X, while drive bays

7 thru 12 are controlled by a second Intel® RAID Controller SRCS28X

2) All drives must be populated in order, from left to right, top to bottom, in drive bay 1 thru drive bay

12, but sequentially distributed across both SRCS28X SATA HBA's. For example, if only 8 drives

are installed, 6 drives should be inserted into bays 1 thru 6, and two drives inserted into bays 7

and 8.

3) 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 exact same drive bays

they were removed from. Please use the HDD labels provided in your Storage System

SSR212MA shipping container to number the drives 1 thru 12 prior to removal.

If a failed drive needs replacing, it must be replaced with the exact same manufacturer, model,

and size.

For more information on configuring supported RAID levels, refer to the Intel® Storage

System SSR212MA Software User Manual available from Intel Business Link (IBL),

support.intel.com, or your Intel sales representative.
