3.5-Inch Hard Disk Drive - NEC NovaScale R630 User Manual

3.5-INCH HARD DISK DRIVE

The 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay in front of the server contains six slots in which hard disks with the SAS interface are
installed.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disks that are not authorized by the manufacturer. 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.
You can install 25.4mm (1-inch) high hard disk drives to six 3.5-inch hard disk drive bays on the server.
The hard disk drives installed on the slot 1, 2, and 3 of the CPU/IO module 0 and 1 are mirrored respectively. (The OS
is installed on the mirror volumes that consist of the hard disks in the slot 1.)
Slots to execute the mirroring process
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.
