Installing and Removing Hard Drives
The SC217HD chassis features 24 drive bays that are accessable for drive
replacement from the front of the chassis. The drives are mounted in drive carriers
to simplify their installation and removal. These carriers also help promote proper
airflow for the drive bays.
The chassis contains two individual motherboards in separate node drawers. Each
motherboard node controls a set of six hard drives. If a node drawer is pulled out
of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that node will power down as well.
