CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION:
To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
CAUTION:
Use only hard-drives that have been tested and approved for use with
the hard-drive backplane.
CAUTION:
To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-
swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating
system.
NOTE:
When combining SAS, SATA or SATA hard-drives in the sled, ensure the
following:
• Only two drive types can be mixed per sled.
Hard-drives installed in a vertically aligned drive bay (i.e., drive bays 0, 1 or
•
drive bays 0, 1,2, 3) must be of same type.
• Only SAS hard-drives are supported in a dual-cable SAS expander
connection.
