Features Preface
Hard disk drives
The server is shipped with one of the following drive cages:
– For up to four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives:
Up to four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD modules can be used in the drive cage.
Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive with a
maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA
backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled
out easily.
I Up to four SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the onboard SATA
controller. An additional SAS/SATA RAIDcontroller must be installed
to control additional SATA hard disk drives or SAS hard disk drives.
Hybrid configurations of SAS and SATA HDD modules are not supported.
– For up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives or 2.5-inch SATA SSD
drives:
Up to eight 2.5-inch modules can be used in the drive cage. Each module
can accommodate an SAS/SATA hard disk drive or an SATA SSD drive with
a 2.5-inch format. The modules are connected to the SAS/SATA backplane
wirelessly. This allows modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.
I Up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk drives are controlled by the
SAS/SATA RAID controller already installed.
Hybrid configurations of SATA HDD and SATA SDD modules are not
supported.
Hybrid configurations of SATA HDD and SAS HDD modules are not
supported either.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, the modules can also
be replaced during operation.
Onboard SATA controller
A 6-port SATA controller is integrated on the system board; up to four SATA hard
disk drives can be connected to the controller. The LSI Embedded MegaRAID
software (SATA Software RAID) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10.
For more information on configuring the controller, see section "Configuring the
onboard SATA controller" on page 74.
