Installing internal drives

If you add different types of drives, the system can read mul-
tiple types of media and store more data. Several types of
drives are available, such as:
• Diskette
• Hard disk
• CD-ROM
• DVD-ROM
• Tape
Note: The server supports external tape drives; however,
the server does not support internal tape drives.
The server contains hardware that enables you to replace a
failed hard disk drive without turning off the server. There-
fore, you have the advantage of continuing to operate the
system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed.
These drives are known as hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights on the front
of the server (see "Start the server" on page 8). If the amber
hard-disk status light for a drive is lit continuously, that indi-
vidual drive is faulty and requires replacement. When the
hard-disk status light indicates a drive fault, you can replace
a hot-swap drive without turning off the server.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must be
mounted in a hot-swap-drive tray. The drive must have a
single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Hot-swap-
drive trays come with hot-swap drives.

Internal drive bays

Internal drives are installed in bays . The server supports up
to a maximum of six 1-inch (26 mm) slim high, 3.5 inch, hot-
swap hard disk drives when the media bay option is
installed.
