Installing a SAS Hard Disk Drive
The blade server has two connectors on the system board for installing optional SFF SAS
hard disk drives.
Depending on the blade server model, at least one SAS hard disk drive might already be
installed. If the blade server is equipped with one SAS hard disk drive, you can install an
additional SAS hard disk drive. These two SAS hard disk drives can be used to implement

Note: Do not install a SAS hard disk drive in SAS connector 1 (SAS ID 1) if you intend to also
