Installing the optional HDD Cage
Installing an optional HDD cage in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay on the front of the
server allows the server to be equipped with up to four hard disk drives in addition to
four drives normally installable.
Do not use any hard disks not approved by NEC. If an unap-
proved third party's hard disk is installed in the server, not only
the hard disk drive but also the server itself may be defective.
For the disk array configuration, refer to the manual that comes
with the disk array controller.
A hard disk drive having thickness of about 1 inch can be inserted to each of the four
slots in the HDD cage. ID4 to ID7 are assigned in the order from bottom to top.
If the optional HDD cage is installed in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay, the cable
attached to the 3.5-inch hard disk drive cage should be connected to the SAS connector
on the motherboard.
For the disk array configuration, connect the cable on the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay
to the disk array controller. Additional hard disk drives to be used should have the same
standard as the normal hard disk drives.
Empty trays are inserted into the empty slots in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay.
Remove these trays only to install additional hard disk drives.
