Hard Drives

This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS or SATA hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays. Your system features up to two 2.5- inch SAS or SATA hard drives. All drives connect to the system board through the SAS/SATA backplane board. See Figure 6-3. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.

NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the SAS controller daughter card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-plug drive removal and insertion.

NOTE: All installed drives must be either SAS or SATA. Mixed drive configurations are not supported.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS/SATA backplane board.

You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SAS or SATA hard drives.

NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive failure.

When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.
