The CPU blade can contain up to six 2.5-inch hard disk drives. This section describes the
installation and removal (or replacement) procedures.
IMPORTANT:
The hard disk drive is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make
sure to touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static
electricity from your body before handling the hard disk drive. Do
not touch the terminals and parts on the hard disk drive with your
bare hands or place the hard disk drive directly on a desk. For static
notes, see the section "Anti-static Measures" described earlier.
Make sure to use a hard disk drive authorized by NEC. Installing a
third-party hard disk drive may cause a failure of the hard disk drive
as well as the server. Repair costs of the server due to damage
resulting from installation of such a hard disk drive will be charged
even within the warranty period.
Hard disk drives with different capacities can can operate normally
in the CPU blade. To use a RAID array with the onboard disk array
controller, use hard disk drives with the same specifications.
Do not apply shock or vibration to the hard disk drive. Do not push
the surface of the hard disk drive when installing or removing it.
Use the hard disk drive mounted to the tray in the CPU blade. Do
not remove the hard disk drive from the tray. Doing so may cause a
failure of the hard disk drive.
