Hard Disk Drive
Expansion Bays for hard disk drives are provided at the front of the server.
A hard disk drive mounted in a dedicated drive tray can be purchased. Install the hard disk drive on the
server with it mounted in the drive tray.
Note the following precautions to install hard disk drives.
•
For onboard connection, hard disk drives having different capacities, types, or rotational speeds cannot
be installed together.
•
In the RAID System, all the hard disk drives in a group (pack) must have the same capacity, type, and
rotational speed.
•
If using hard disk drives in a RAID System, jumper settings or a change of cables may be required.
Bays can accommodate up to 6 hard disk drives (when HDD cage is added, 8 HDDs can be installed).
Port numbers have been assigned to each slot.
