Drives
The D2220sb supports up to 12 SAS or SATA drives. Always populate drive bays starting with the lowest
drive bay number.
Drive guidelines
When adding drives to the D2220sb, observe the following general guidelines:
• The D2220sb supports standard small form factor hot plug carriers only.
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one drive is used, install it in drive bay 1.
• Drives must be hot-plug, SFF types.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
Installing a drive
This procedure describes first-time installation only.
To install the component:
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the D2220sb or
the enclosure unless all enclosure device bays and the first three storage drive bays are populated
with either a component or a blank.
