3.5-Inch Hard Disk Drive - NEC Bull NovaScale R620 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 SCA2 interface are
installed.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disks that are not authorized by Bull. 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).
The R620-MR model is used in the example quoted here. However steps you should take are the same for other models.
You can install 25.4mm (1-inch) high hard disk drives to six 3.5-inch hard disk drive bays on the server. 3.5-imch hard
disk drive bays have labels with slot number.
The hard disk drives installed on the slot 0, 1 and 2 are mirrored with the slot 3, 4, and 5 respectively. (The OS is installed
on the mirror volumes that consist of the hard disks in the slot 0 and 3)
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.
Attach an HDD ID label indicating the slot number of installed hard disk to the handle of the hard disk.
