6-9 Hard Disk Drives
The SC217 chassis features 24 drive bays that are accessable for drive replacement
from the front of the chassis. The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify
their installation and removal. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the drive bays.
The chassis contains four individual motherboards in separate node drawers. Each
motherboard node controls a set of six hard drives. Note that if a motherboard node
drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that node will
power down as well.
