power to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
You must use standard 1" high, SAS/SATA drives in the system.

The SC217 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.
