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 six 3.5-inch hard drives, or eight 2.5-inch hard drives. All drives connect to the system board through one of three optional SAS backplane boards. See "SAS Backplane Board Connectors" on page 139 for information on these backplane options.

NOTE: Depending on the hard drive configuration you ordered, your hard drive(s) may come with a drive interposer that allows your SATA drive to attach to the SAS connector on the backplane.
