Peripheral and Hard Drive Support
Intel
Server System SC5650BCDP TPS
peripherals can be up to 9 inches (228.6 mm) deep. As a guideline, the maximum
recommended power per device is 17W. Thermal performance of specific devices must be
verified to ensure compliance to the manufacturer's specifications.
The 5.25-in peripherals can be inserted and removed without tools from the front of the chassis
after taking off the access cover and removing the front bezel. The peripheral bay utilizes visual
guide holes to correctly line up the position of peripheral drives. Locking slide levers push
retaining pins into the drive to hold the drive securely in the bay. EMI shield panels are installed
and should be retained in unused 5.25-in bays to ensure proper cooling and EMI conformance.
The peripheral bays are covered with plastic snap-in cosmetic pieces that must be removed to
add peripherals to the system. Control panel buttons and lights are located along the right side
of the peripheral bays.
Note: Use caution when approaching the maximum level of integration for the 5.25-in drive
bays. Power consumption of the devices integrated needs must be carefully considered to
ensure that the maximum power levels of the power supply are not exceeded.

Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive Bays
The system can support either an active SAS/SATA or a passive SAS/SATA backplane. The
backplanes provide platform support for hot-swap SAS or SATA hard drives. For more
®
information about SAS/SATA Hot Swap Backplane (HSBP), please refer to the Intel
Server
Chassis SC5650 Technical Product Specification.
The passive backplane acts as a "pass-through" for the SAS/SATA data from the drives to the
SAS/SATA controller on the baseboard or a SAS/SATA controller add-in card. It provides the
physical requirements for the hot-swap capabilities. The active backplane has a built-in SAS
controller that requires a SAS controller on the baseboard or a SAS add-in card for
communication. The active SAS/SATA backplane reduces the number of required cables by
using only two SAS/SATA connectors to drive up to six hard drives.
When the hot swap drive bay is installed, a bi-color hard drive LED is located on each drive
carrier to indicate specific drive failure or activity. For pedestal systems, these LEDs are visible
upon opening the front bezel door.
5.3.1
Fixed Hard Drive Bay
®
Intel
Server System SC5650BCDP comes with a removable hard drive bay that can accept up
to six cabled 3.5-in x 1-in hard drives. Power requirements for each individual hard drive may
®
limit the maximum number of drives that can be integrated into an Intel
Server System
SC5650BCDP. The drive bay is designed to allow adequate airflow between drives, and no
additional cooling fan is required. Drives must be installed in the order of slot 1, 3, 5 first
(skipping slots) to ensure proper cooling. The drive bay is secured with a tool-less retention
mechanism.
Note: The hard drive bay must be pushed forward or removed to install the server board.
