SCSI Hard Drive Modules
The BladeSymphony 1000 supports two types of storage modules containing 73 or 146 GB 15K RPM
Ultra320 SCSI drives in the type B chassis only. The 3x HDD Module can have up to three drives
installed. The 6x HDD module utilizes two server slots and can house up to six drives. Both HDD
Modules are illustrated in Figure 24. Four out of eight server slots of a server chassis can be used to
install storage modules, for a total of either four 3x modules or two 6x modules. The storage modules
are mountable only on server slots #4 to #7 in Chassis B.
Disk drives installed in HDD modules can be hot-swapped in a RAID configuration with the RAID
controller installed on the PCI card. The HDD Modules support RAID 1, 5, and 0+1 and spare disk.
