Installing a hard disk drive

Installing a hard disk drive

Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.

Important: Do not install a SCSI hard disk drive in this server; install only SAS hard disk drives.

The following notes describe the type of hard disk drive that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive:

vThe server 3.5-inch models support six slim 3.5-inch hard disk drives installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays for 3.5-inch drives.

vThe server 2.5-inch models support eight 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays for 2.5-inch drives.

vAll hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating. Mixing hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput speed.

vThe ID that is assigned to each bay is printed on the front of the server.

The following illustrations show how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
