Hard Disk Drive Support

7. Hard Disk Drive Support
The system can be configured to support several different hard drive and peripheral
configurations. The peripheral/hard drive subsystem consists of a drive bay supporting a
slimline optical drive, and hard drives; a midplane; and a hot-swap backplane. This chapter
describes the details for each subsystem component.

Hard Drive Bays

The system can be configured to support up to eight hot-swap 2.5 inch SAS or SATA hard disk
drives. The hard drives are mounted to hot-swap drive trays for easy insertion or extraction from
the drive bay.
7.1.1

Hot-swap Drive Trays

Each hard drive must be mounted to a hot-swap drive tray, making insertion and extraction of
the drive from the system very simple. Each drive tray has its own dual purpose latching
mechanism that is used to insert and extract drives from the system, and lock the tray assembly
in place. Each drive tray supports two light pipes viewable from the front of the system. The
light pipes provide a green drive activity indicator and amber drive fault indicator. The drive
activity and fault LEDs are located on the backplane next to each drive connector.
