SAS and SATA hard drive guidelines

NOTE: The server may look different from that shown.

When adding SAS hard drives to the server, observe the following general
guidelines:

The server supports eight SAS or SATA hot-plug hard drives.

The system automatically sets all drive numbers.

If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number.

Hard drives must be SFF types.

Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space

efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.

NOTE: ACU does not support mixing SAS and SATA drives in the

same logical volume.

Installing the SAS hard drive cage

NOTE: You must provide a SAS controller before proceeding with

the SAS hard drive cage installation.
