Hard Drives

Your system supports 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in

3.5-inch hot-swap hard drive carrier or cabled internal drives. Depending on your chassis, the hard drives are installed internally or at the front of the system (see Figure 3-1). Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot- swappable.

NOTE: Systems with cabled hard drives support up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives.

Removing a Hard-Drive Blank

CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed.

NOTE: This section is applicable to systems with hot-swappable hard drives only.

1Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 86.

2Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on the right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay. See Figure 3-7.
