Hard disk drives

The system supports eight hot-swap SATAII/SAS hard disk drives. The hard disk

drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard SATAII/SAS ports via

the SATAII/SAS backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATAII/SAS HDD:
1. Release a drive tray by pushing the

spring lock to the right, then pulling

the tray lever outward. The drive

tray ejects slightly after you pull out

the lever.

2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull

the drive tray out of the bay.

3. Take note of the drive tray holes.

Each side has three holes to fit

different types of hard disk drives.

Use two screws on each side to

secure the hard disk drive.

4. Place a SATAII/SAS hard disk drive

on the tray, then secure it with four

screws.
