2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive (in 2.5-inch HDD Cage)
The 2.5-inch hard disk drive bay may contain up to eight 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:
– 36.3GB, 10000 rpm, SAS
– 73.2GB, 10000 rpm, SAS
– 146.5GB, 10000 rpm, SAS
– 36.3GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 73.2GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
A hard disk drive having the thickness of 0.6-inch (15 mm) can be installed on each of the slots. The port numbers
PORT0 to PORT7 are assigned from right to left.
The factory-installed HDD cage is connected to the Internal RAID Controller (SAS/SATA HW RAID0/1).
Installing an additional 2.5-inch HDD cage allows the server to be equipped with up to 16 hard disk drives. The port
numbers for additional 2.5-inch HDD cage are assigned as PORT8 to PORT15 from right to left. To connect an
additional 2.5-inch HDD cage, you need an additional RAID controller.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: Fill the slots with hard disk drives sequentially starting from slot 0 (the
rightmost slot). If you start filling from slot 7 or skip filling the intermediate slot, the
indication of DISK lamp will be incorrect.
