Installing and Removing a Hot-swap Hard Drive

Up to six hot-swap SAS or SATA drives can be installed.

Cautions: If you install less than six drives or devices, empty drive bays must be occupied by carriers with baffles to maintain proper system cooling.

To avoid possible damage to your server system, do not use older style drive carriers.

Note: The server system does not support all hard drives. See “Server System References“ for an Internet link to a list of supported hardware.
