A hard disk drive mounted in a dedicated drive carrier can be purchased. Install the hard disk drive on the
server with it mounted in the drive carrier.
Important
Use hard disk drives specified by NEC. Installing a third-party hard disk
drive might cause a failure of the server and it.
Note the following precautions to install hard disk drives.
• For onboard connection, hard disk drives having different capacities, interface types, or rotational speeds
cannot be installed together.
• In the specific RAID System, hard disk drives and solid state drives cannot be installed together.
Bays can contain up to 12 hard disk drives .
A unique port number is pre-assigned to each slot.
