Disk Drive Options
Your system can have up to 14 disk drives installed: 12 disk drives installed in two
six-position hot-plug disk drive bays and two disk drives in a two-position bay, which is
not hot-pluggable. The disk drives are mounted in special carriers that allow the disk
drives to plug into the bay slots. When you install or remove disk drives, refer to the
procedures in this section.
Disk drives that are installed in either of the two six-position bays are referred to as
hot-pluggable disk drives.
The SCSI disk drive bays have light emitting diodes (LEDs) to identify the state of the
disk drive slot (1) shown in the following diagram. The disk drive carriers also have
status lights (2), which are used to determine if the drive is active.
Slot LEDs and drive LEDs are visible when the front cover and the disk drive bay cover
are removed.
