2.6 Hard Disk Drives

The system supports up to eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SATAII/SAS hard disk drives—four for
each installed server node. Each installed hard disk is mounted to a drive tray. When
inserted into a drive bay, the hard drive is blind-mated to a matching connector on a
backplane, which is either cabled to SATA ports on each server node (default) or can be
routed to add-in SAS/SAS RAID cards.
The hard drives for each server node are numbered as follows:
Each drive number corresponds to a matching SATA port number on the server board.
To install a hard drive:
1. Release the drive tray by pushing the spring lock to the right, and then pulling the tray
lever outward. The drive tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the drive tray out of the bay.
3. Place a SATAII/SAS hard disk drive on the tray, and then secure it with its four screws.

4. Carefully insert the drive assembly into a drive bay until contact is made with the
backplane.
5. Push the tray lever in until it clicks and secures the drive tray in place. The drive tray is
correctly placed when its front edge aligns with the bay edge.
