Your server has a factory-installed 3.5-inch HDD cage that can contain four hard disk drives on the front of the server.
Installing an optional 3.5-inch HDD cage in another bay allows the server to be equipped with up to eight hard disk
drives. Hard disk drives are not installed in the HDD cage. Purchase them additionally.
IMPORTANT:
Use a hard disk drives authorized by the manufacturer. Installing a third-party hard disk
drive may cause the server or the hard disk drive to be damaged. Purchase hard disk
drives of the following models:
– 80 GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300
– 160 GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300
– 250 GB, 7,200 rpm, serial ATA2/300
– 500 GB, 7,200 rpm, SATA2/300

Note: A SAS drive cannot coexist with a SATA drive.
To use RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 50 with Internal RAID Controller (SAS/SATA HW
RAID0/1), you need to install the optional RAID Upgrade Kit.
A hard disk drive having thickness of about 1 inch can be inserted to each of the four slots in the HDD cage. PORT4 to
PORT7 are assigned in the order from bottom to top of additional 3.5-inch HDD cage.
IMPORTANT: Fill the slots with hard disk drives sequentially starting from PORT0 or
PORT4 (the bottom slot of the cage). If you start filling from PORT3 (or PORT7) or skip
filling an intermediate slot, the indication of DISK lamp will be incorrect.
