Hard Drive and Peripheral Device Bays

The hard drive and peripheral device bays can accommodate the following devices:
Eight hot-swap hard disk drives
One ½-inch optical drive
One half-height 5.25-inch tape backup device
The SAS backplane supports both 2.5-inch SATA and SAS drives.
The optical drive and tape backup drive are not hot-swap devices. System power must be
turned off when installing or removing these drives.
Hard disk drives have different cooling, power, and vibration characteristics; therefore, Intel will
validate specific hard disk drive types in the Intel
S7000FC4UR Tested Hardware and Operating System List for of the qualified drives.
The hard drive carriers supplied with the system accommodate only 2.5-inch disk drives. The
hard drive is attached to the carrier with four Phillips* head screws. The carrier is retained in the
chassis by a locking handle.
The SAS backplane contains two LEDs for each hard drive to display status. The LED signal is
transmitted to the front of the system via a light pipe integrated in the hard drive carrier.
The signals for the optical drive are carried from the main board via a signal lane SATA cable.
There is a SATA-to-PATA converter board. The converter board plugs into the optical drive.
