Hot-plug hard disk drives
In the PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server you can use up to eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
hard disk drives or up to twenty 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives.
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY TX300 S4 are
supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk
drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The hard
disk drive and installation frame together make up the HDD module.
V
CAUTION!
●
The hard disk drive may not be removed from the installation frame
by anyone except a service technician.
●
The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they
can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not
done, existing data can be lost.
●
The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corre-
sponding RAID configuration.
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can
be found in the RAID controller documentation.
