Installing disk drives
Depending on the types of disk drives being used, the following number of drives can be installed in a
single enclosure:
•
LFF: 12 drives
•
SFF: 25 drives
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, operate the enclosure only when all bays are
populated with either a component or a drive blank.
Disk drive installation guidelines
When adding disk drives to the storage system, observe the following guidelines:
•
Insert disks contiguously within the enclosure.
•
Install SSD drives into the array enclosure. Do not put SSD drives into the expansion disk enclosure.
•
When installing expansion disks, use the same pattern as the original disk sets in either the existing
chassis or in the new chassis.
Tiering guidelines
•
Tier 0—First writes. If SSDs are being used, put them here.
•
Tier 1—If Adaptive Optimization (AO) is on, data is moved here.
•
Tier 2—(Not operational.)
