Hard Disk Drives (C1104G-RP5 Chassis)
Drive Configurations
The 1U chassis supports a maximum of four 2.5-inch hard disk drives, see
drives from left to right starting in the lower-left bay. Disk drive bays must be populated with
either a drive or a "drive blank" to maintain system thermals. Failure to follow this guideline may
cause system overheating and thermal shutdown of the unit.
Important: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability and RAID functions of the SATA drives.

C1104G-RP5 System Disk Drive Locations
The disk drive configurations supported in the Rackable C1104G-RP5 server are outlined in the
paragraphs that follow. Note that some configurations are dependent on use of optional hardware
to support RAID configurations.
The supported disk drive configurations are as follows:
•
JBOD
This non-RAID disk array supports any number of drives between one and four. The
operating system is placed on the disk drive in location 0 (system disk). All other drives are
data drives.
•
RAID 0
Disk striping without parity, supports any number of drives between two and four. Note that
all drives must be the same type, speed and capacity. The operating system will be striped
across all drives in the system. This configuration is not recommended.
