2.5-inch HDD Cage
Installing an optional HDD cage in the 2.5-inch hard disk drive bay on the front of the server allows the server to be
equipped with up to eight hard disk drives in addition to the eight drives normally installable. Hard disk drives are not
installed in the HDD cage. Purchase them additionally.
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:
– 36.3 GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 73.2 GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 146.5 GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
– 300 GB, 15000 rpm, SAS
To use RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 with Internal RAID Controller (SAS/SATA HW
RAID0/1), you need to install the optional RAID Upgrade Kit.
A hard disk drive about 0.6 inches thick can be inserted into each of the eight slots in the HDD cage. PORT8 to
PORT15 are assigned in the order from right to left of the additional 2.5-inch HDD cage.
