Hard disk drives

The system supports four hot-swap SATAIII/SAS hard disk drives and two SATAII hard disk
drives. The hard disk drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard SATA/SAS
ports via the SATA/SAS backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATA/SAS HDD:
1. Release a drive tray by pushing the
spring lock to the right, then pulling the
tray lever outward. The drive tray ejects
slightly after you pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the
drive tray out of the bay.
3. Take note of the drive tray holes. Each
side has three holes to fit different types
of hard disk drives. Use two screws on
each side to secure the hard disk drive.
