2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive

The server has an expansion bay for connecting 2.5-inch hard disk drive on the front of 16x 2.5-inch drive
models and 26x 2.5-inch drive models, and the rear of the 26x 2.5-inch drive models and 3.5-inch drive models
(when a 2.5-inch additional HDD cage (on the rear) is installed).
A hard disk drive mounted in a dedicated drive tray can be purchased. Install the hard disk drive on the server
with it mounted in the drive tray.
Note the following precautions to install hard disk drives.
• For onboard connection, hard disk drives having different capacities, types, or rotational speeds cannot be
installed together.
• In the RAID system, all the hard disk drives in an array group must have the same capacity, type, and
rotational speed.
Unique slot numbers have been assigned to each slot.

Important Use hard disk drives specified by NEC. Installing a third-party hard disk drive
might cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk drive.
Note In the RAID system, use hard disk drives that have the same specifications
(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each disk array.
Note Keep the removed dummy trays for future use.
