Hard Drives
This subsection describes how to install and configure SATA hard drives in
the system's internal hard-drive bays. Your system features up to four SATA
3.5-inch hard drives. All drives connect to the system board through the SAS
backplane board. See "SAS Backplane Board Connectors" on page 161 for
information on these backplane options.
NOTE: Depending on the hard drive configuration you ordered, your hard drive(s)
may come with a drive interposer that allows your SATA drive to attach to the SAS
connector on the backplane.
