6.2 Hard Drive Carrier
There are two types of HDD carriers for two chassis SKUs respectively:
Figure 33. 3.5-inch HDD Assembly Overview
Figure 34. 2.5-inch HDD Assembly Overview
Hot-swap drive carriers make insertion and extraction of the drive from the system very simple.
Each type of drive carrier has its own latching mechanism, which is used to both insert and
extract drives from the chassis and lock the carrier in place. Each type of drive carrier supports
two light pipes to direct light from the drive status LEDs on the backplane to the carrier’s face
allowing it to be viewable from the front of the system.
6.3 Hot Swap Hard Drive Support
The Intel
®
Server System H2000WP family can support hot-swap SATA/SAS hard drives. Hard
drives interface with the passive backplane through a blind mate connection when drives are
installed into a hard drive bay using hot-swap drive carriers.
The passive backplane acts as an intermediate pass-through interface board, where SATA/SAS
ports of SCU0 from server board are hard wired to the backplane. The on board Intel
®
C600
Chipset (PCH) provides the necessary drive interface.
Each compute node in the system has dedicated Hot Swap Controller (HSC) to manage three
or four HDDs. There are totally four sets of independent Programmable System On Chip (PSOC)
on the backplane, to function as HSC respectively to four compute nodes.
