NOTE:
Mix configuration of RAID configuration server module and SAS HBA configuration server module in a same module enclosure can
be supported.
Mix configuration of SATA HDDs and SAS HDDs in a same drive cage of server module is not supported.
Three server modules which installs SATA HDDs in a same module enclosure is not supported.
Server module which installs SATA HDDs and server module which installs SAS HDDs in a same module enclosure is not
supported.
SAS HBA [N8103-199] will be able to order after end of Oct, 2017.
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs (512n), SAS 10K HDDs (512e), SAS 15K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs (512e),
SATA HDDs, SAS SSDs, SATA SSDs (ME) and SATA SSDs (VE) can be mixed in the drive cage of server modules except the
combination of SATA HDDs and SAS HDDs.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 in order to minimize the risk of becoming
multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
Maximum Internal Storage
The maximum number of available drives depends on the type of processor installed and the number of PCI cards. See the following
table to check how many drives can be installed into the server.
