3 System Storage and Peripheral Drive Bay Overview

The Intel ® Storage System JBOD2000S3SP product supports 12 Hot-swap 3.5" hard disk drives.

3.1 3.5" Hard Disk Drive Support

The server is available as a 3.5" hard disk configuration of 12 drives as illustrated below.
Figure 7. 3.5" Hard Drive Bay – 12-Drive Configuration
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive types within the hard drive
bay is not supported. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type of host bus controller used, SATA only
or SAS. Each 3.5" hard disk drive is mounted to a drive tray, allowing for hot-swap extraction and insertion.
Drive trays have a latching mechanism that is used to extract and insert the drives from the chassis, and lock
the tray in place.

Light pipes integrated into the drive tray assembly direct the light emitted from Amber drive status and
Green activity LEDs located next to each drive connector on the backplane, to the drive tray faceplate,
making them visible from the front of the system.
