Hard Drives

Your system supports six 3.5 inch drive bays without the flex bay.
All chassis support hot-swappable SAS and SATA hard drives.
All drives are installed at the front of the system and connect to the system
board through the SAS backplane. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-
swappable hard-drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.
CAUTION:
Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is
running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the
host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-swap drive removal and
insertion.
