Your system has six 3.5-inch drive bays. All chassis support hot-swappable SAS and
SATA hard drives.
All drives are installed at the front of the system and connect to the system board through
the SAS backplane. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-swappable hard-drive carriers
that fit in the hard-drive bays.
Caution: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so
can cause a drive failure
Note: Use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS backplane
board.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be
aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.
Mixed hard-drive configurations of SAS and SATA drives are allowed. In this configuration,
two SAS drives must be installed in hard-drive slots 0 and 1 only. The remaining slots can
have SATA drives installed.
Mixed 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch configurations of SAS and SATA drives are also supported in
the 3.5-inch–bay chassis only. In this configuration, two 10,000-RPM 2.5-inch SAS drives
installed in 3.5-inch adapters must be used in hard-drive slots 0 and 1 only. The remaining
hard drives must be 3.5 inches in size and must be either all SAS or all SATA drives.
Caution: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive
blanks installed
