Replacing Hard Drives
The SC200 and SC220 enclosures support hot-swappable hard drives. The SC200
enclosure supports up to 12 3.5-inch hard drives installed in a four-column, three-row
configuration. The SC220 enclosure supports up to 24 2.5-inch hard drives installed
vertically side-by-side. Hard drives are connected to a backplane through hard drive
carriers. Hard drive blanks are installed in the hard drive bays that are not occupied.
Hard Drive Numbering
Hard drives are numbered on the enclosure.
SC200 hard drives are numbered 0-11, from left to right and top to bottom, starting with 0
on the upper left side.
SC220 hard drives are numbered 0-23, left to right.

power supply/cooling fan module’s AC power LED turns green and the power
supply/cooling fan LED is off. In addition, the power supply status indicator turns
green in the Storage Center System Manager.
