The 2.5-inch hard disk drive bay may contain up to eight hard disk drives.
IMPORTANT:
a third-party hard disk drive may cause a failure of the server as well as
the hard disk drive. Purchase hard disk drives of the following models:
– N8150-219 (36.3GB, 10000 rpm, SAS)
– N8150-220 (73.2GB, 10000 rpm, SAS)

A hard disk drive having the thickness of 0.6-inch (15 mm) can be installed on each of the slots. The
port numbers PORT0 to PORT7 are assigned from right to left.
The factory-installed HDD cage is connected to the Internal RAID Controller (equivalent to N8103-
116).
Installing an additional 2.5-inch HDD cage (N8154-16F) allows the server to be equipped with up
to 16 hard disk drives. The port numbers for additional 2.5-inch HDD cage are assigned as PORT8
to PORT15 from right to left. To connect an additional 2.5-inch HDD cage, you need an additional
RAID controller.
Use WebBIOS or Universal RAID Utility to build, configure, and manage the RAID System. See
"RAID System Configuration" in Chapter 4 and "Universal RAID Utility" in Chapter 6.
A dummy tray is installed in the hard disk drive bays except for Port 0. The purpose of a dummy
tray is to increase the cooling effect in the server. Install a dummy tray in slots not containing a hard
disk drive.
