Hard disk drive
Side B
You can install up to 14 Ultra320 hot-swap hard disk drive customer
replaceable units (CRUs) in the storage subsystem. Each hard disk drive
CRU contains a hard disk drive and tray.
Note: The DS300 (1701-1RL) storage subsystem supports seven hard disk
drives. You can add seven more hard disk drives with the purchase of a
second power-supply-with-fan unit.
The storage subsystem comes without installed hard disk drives and
contains filler panels in the unused drive bays. Before installing new drives,
you must remove the filler panels and save them. Each of the 14 bays must
always contain either a filler panel or a hard disk drive to maintain proper
cooling and airflow.
Use the blue latch on the tray handle to release or lock the hard disk drive
in place.
