3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive bay may contain up to four hard disk drives.
IMPORTANT:
Use the hard disk drives authorized by the manufacturer. 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:
– 80GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300
– 160GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300
– 250GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300
– 500GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300
– 750GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300
– 36.3GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 73.2GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 146.5GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 300GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
Note: The SAS drive cannot coexist with SATA drive.
To use RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 with Internal RAID Controller (SAS/SATA HW
RAID0/1), you need to additionally install the optional RAID Upgrade Kit.
A hard disk drive having the thickness of 1 inch can be installed on each of the slots. Installing an optional 3.5-inch
HDD cage allows the server to be equipped with up to eight hard disk drives. See "3.5-inch HDD Cage" described later
for details.
The port numbers are factory-assigned as PORT0 to PORT3 from bottom to top bay.
The hard disk drive bays are connected with Internal RAID Controller (SAS/SATA HW RAID0/1).
Use WebBIOS or 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. In addition, you may use Express Setup to
configure the RAID System. See Chapter 5 for details.
IMPORTANT:
Use the dummy tray dedicated to the HDD cage.
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.
