The 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay in front of the server contains six slots in which hard disks with the SCA2 interface are installed.

IMPORTANT:

„Do not use any hard disks that are not authorized by NEC. Installing a third-party hard disk may cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk. Purchase hard disks of the same model in pair. Contact your sales agent for hard disk drives optimum for your server.

TIPS:

„The primary CPU/IO module is determined by the order of connecting power cords (see Chapter3).

Empty slots in the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay contain dummy trays. The dummy trays are inserted to improve the cooling effect within the device. Always insert the dummy trays in the slots in which hard disks are not installed.
