The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX900 S1 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk drives can be replaced and new hard disk drives can be added during operation. The hard disk drive/solid state drive and the installation frame together make up the HDD/SSD module.

●When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.
