to replace or swap SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. You must
use standard 1" high, SATA drives in the system.

The SC827 chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node
drawers. Each motherboard node controls a set of three hard drives. Note that if a
motherboard node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated
with that node will power down as well.
