Hard disk drives
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
–
For up to six 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to six SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD
module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a maximum
height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane
wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be easily plugged in and pulled out.
Optionally, you can also install a hard disk expansion box (Multibay 2, see
also section
“Accessible drives” on page 12
) (with up to two 3.5-inch
SAS/SATA HDD modules). The hard disk drives in this expansion box are
controlled by the 8-Port RAID Controller.
–
For up to twelve 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives:
Up to twelve SAS HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD
module can accommodate a SAS hard disk drive with a 2.5-inch format. The
module is connected to the SAS backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD
modules to be easily plugged in or pulled out.
Optionally, you can also install a hard disk expansion box (with up to eight
2.5-inch SAS HDD modules). You can operate this expansion only with hot-
plug power supply unit(s). An additional SAS controller must be installed in
order to control the hard disk drives in this expansion box.
