Acer G5450 Series manual Configuring the hard drive, Installing a HDD cage

Configuring the hard drive

The two HDD cage bays of the Altos G5450 accommodates both hot-plug and easy-swap HDD cage models. The main difference between these two cage models is the presence of a backplane board on the rear side of the hot-plug HDD cage. Both cage models support up to four SATA2 or SAS hard disk drives.

The system ships out with only a single HDD cage occupying the top cage bay. You have the option to purchase an extra HDD cage to provide the system with additional storage capacity and scalability. Contact your local Acer representative for more information.

Note: The HDD cage comes with HDD dummy covers. You need to purchase a blank HDD carrier to install a hard drive.
