3.5-Inch Hdd Cage - NEC N8100-1417F User Manual

3.5-inch HDD Cage

Your server has a factory-installed 3.5-inch HDD cage that can contain four hard disk drives on the
front of the server. Installing an optional 3.5-inch HDD cage (N8154-17F) in another bay allows the
server to be equipped with up to eight hard disk drives. Hard disk drives are not installed in the
HDD cage. Purchase them additionally.
IMPORTANT:
Use the hard disk drives authorized by NEC. Installing 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:
– N8150-207A (80GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300)
– N8150-208A (160GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300)
– N8150-209A (250GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300)
– N8150-229 (500GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300)

Note: The SAS drive cannot coexist with SATA drive.

optional N8103-119 RAID Upgrade Kit.
