Section 12. Storage

A. Overview / Description

The PowerEdge T610 has an eight-drive backplane for 2.5" drives and an eight-drive backplane for 3.5" drives. There are eight hot-swap capable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) slots with two LED indicators per slot, two Mini-SAS cable connectors for connecting the backplane to the integrated SAS 6/iR or PERC 6/i, a 10-pin planar signal connector and an 8-pin PDB power connector.

For SATA/SAS mixing, two SAS drives are supported with the 2.5" or 3.5" backplane. In this configuration, one pair of drives will be SAS and the remaining six drives will be SATA.

B. Drives

The PowerEdge T610 supports 2.5" and 3.5" hard drive carriers. These carriers implement new industrial design to match the front bezel. Legacy carriers are not supported on the PowerEdge T610.
