be installed.
IMPORTANT: Use the hard disk drives authorized by Bull. Installing a third-party hard disk
drive may cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk drive. Purchase hard disk drives of
the following models:
– 73.2GB, 10000rpm , SAS
– 146.5GB, 10000rpm, SAS
– 300GB, 10000rpm, SAS
– 36.3GB, 15000rpm, SAS
– 73.2GB, 15000rpm, SAS
– 146.5GB, 15000rpm, SAS
The hard disk drive bays are connected to the Internal RAID Controller.
When using the Internal RAID Controller :
Use WebBIOS or the Universal RAID Utility to build, configure, and manage the RAID System.
See "RAID System Configuration" in Chapter 4 and "Universal RAID Utility" in Chapter 6.
A dummy tray is installed in the hard disk drive bays except for Port 0. The purpose of a dummy tray is to increase the cooling
effect in the server. Install a dummy tray in slots not containing a hard disk drive.
