blade.

IMPORTANT: The following configurations are not supported:

• Installation of both SAS and SATA hard drives in a single RAID volume

• Installation of SSD and rotating media hard drives in a single RAID volume

A Smart Array P410i controller with an embedded FBWC module supports either two hot-plug SAS or two

hot-plug SATA hard drives. Hard drive activity is indicated by the hard drive LEDs on the hard drives.

internal system components to cool before touching them.
