Hard Disk Drive Bays

®
The Intel Entry Storage System SS4000-E chassis can support up to four 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., after POST (Power On Self Test). See the Intel
Storage System SS4000-E User Guide for more information.
NOTE:
1) All drives must be populated in order, from top to bottom, in drive bay 1 thru drive bay 4. For
example, if only 2 drives are installed, 2 drives should be inserted into bays 1 thru 2, and the
remaining two drive bays left empty. When the additional two drive bays are populated they
should be filled in order, i.e., bay 3 followed by bay 4.
2) 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
shipping container to number the drives 1 thru 4 prior to removal.

3)
If a failed drive needs replacing, it should be replaced with the exact same manufacturer, model,
and size.
4)
For more information on configuring supported RAID levels, refer to the Intel® Storage
System SS4000-E User Guide available from Intel Business Link (iBL), support.intel.com, or your
Intel sales representative.
