Hot-Swap Hard Drive Bay
The hard drive bay supports up to five 3.5-inch by 1.0-inch Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. The hard
drive bay also supports SCSI hard drive technologies, such as Ultra2, that are slower than the
Ultra320 SCSI technology.
Each hard drive is connected to an Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI hot-swap backplane. The backplane
provides 80-pin SCA-2 connectors for each hard drive and accepts 15,000 RPM and slower SCSI
hard drives that consume up to 20 watts of power.
Opening the bezel door provides access to the hard drives. To allow hot swapping, each hard drive
mounts in a hard drive carrier. When a hard drive is removed from the system, both the carrier and
the hard drive are removed.
CAUTION
Because all hard drives have different cooling, power, and vibration
characteristics, NEC has validated specific hard drive types in the
EXPRESS5800/140Rc-4 server. To see a list of validated manufacturers and
hard drive types.
