Use caution when working around the SAS/SATA backplane. Do not touch the
backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the
backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
Important: Regardless of how many SAS/SATA hard drives are installed, all drive
carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
Note! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro
