8Getting Started With Your System
Technical Specifications
Drives
SAS hard drives up to 15 1-inch-by-3.5-inch SAS hot-plug hard drives (3.0 Gbps)
at speeds of 10K or 15K rpm (See your system readme file for
supported disk capacities.)
SATA hard drives up to 15 1-inch-by-3.5-inch SATA hot-plug hard drives (3.0 Gbps)
at speeds of 7.2K rpm. Connectivity to the system backplane is
provided through an interposer assembly.
Connectivity
