6-10 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Hard Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power
to replace or swap SAS or SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
You must use standard 1" high, drives in the system.
Note: Refer to Supermicro's web site for setup guidelines: <http://www.supermicro.

The SC827HQ+ chassis contains four individual serverboards in separate node
drawers (Figure 6-13). Each serverboard node controls a set of three hard drives.
Note that if a serverboard node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives
associated with that node will power down as well.
