Hard Drives

All drives connect to the system board through the SAS/SATA backplane board. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-swappable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.

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

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

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

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.
