Hard Disk Drives

The server system ships with three drive carriers for installing three SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) hot-swap drives.

Note: SAS drives are supported on the Intel® Server System SR1500ALSAS only.

One left drive bay can be converted to be used as a floppy bay. To use the bay for a floppy drive, the AXXFLOPHDDTRAY accessory kit must be used.

For instructions on installing hard drives, see “Installing and Removing a Hot-swap Hard Drive”.

Note: Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives must be specified to run at a maximum ambient temperature of 45C.

Note: The Intel® Server System SR1500AL does not support all SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives. See “Server System References” for an Internet link to a list of supported hardware.
