Storage devices/Bays

•The Power 710 and Power 730 have a slim media bay that can contain an optional DVD-RAM (#5762 or follow-on) and a tape bay (only available with #5263) that can contain a tape drive or removable disk drive.

•Either feature number 5263, 5267, or 5268 must be selected.

–Feature number 5263 supports three small form-factor (SFF) disk units, either HDD or SSD, an SATA DVD, and a tape. No split backplane supported. No RAID 5/6 support.

–Feature number 5267 supports six SFF disk units, either HDD or SSD, and an SATA DVD. No split backplane supported. No RAID 5/6 support.

–Feature number 5268 supports six SFF disk units, either HDD or SSD, and an SATA DVD. No split backplane supported. RAID 5/6 supported.

–One of feature numbers 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1888, 1890, 1909, or 1911 must be selected (no HDDs/SSDs are required in the CEC if feature number 0837 is selected).

–Disk units can be placed in any slot at any time with or without a split backplane.

–A feature 1124 DAT160 80/160 GB tape feature and a feature 1123 USB Internal Docking Station for Removable RDX Disk Drive are mutually exclusive. One or the other can be on the system but not both. A minimum of 1 x feature 1106 or feature 1107 must be ordered with each feature 1124 ordered.

•SAS-bay-based Solid State Drive (SSDs)(#1890 and #1909) support restrictions:

–SFF features 1890 and 1909 are supported in the Power 710 and Power 730 CEC.

–SSDs and disk drives (HDDs) are not allowed to mirror each other.

–SSDs are not supported by feature 5278.

–A feature 5886 containing SSD drives cannot be attached to the CEC external SAS port on the Power 710 or Power 730.

–In a Power 710 or Power 730, SSDs and HDDs may not be mixed with feature number 5263. SSDs and HDDs may be mixed with feature number 5267 or 5268. However, they cannot be in the same RAID array with feature number 5268.

•HDD/SSD Data Protection -- if IBM i (#2145) is selected, one of the following is required:

–Disk mirroring (default) -- requires feature 0040 or 0308

–SAN boot (#0837)

–RAID -- requires feature 5268

–Mixed Data Protection (#0296)
