Hard disk drives

The server’s hard disk drive bay supports five hot-plug SCSI drives. Use only Acer-qualified HDDs. To purchase an HDD, contact your local Acer representative.

Caution! To ensure proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain either a carrier with a hard drive installed in it or a hard disk carrier cover.

Determining drive status

Each HDD carrier features a dual-color LED indicator to display the hard drive status. If you are replacing a failed HDD, determine which drive has failed by checking the drive status LED. For more information on how to determine the drive status, refer to “Front panel LED indicators” on page 10.
