Hard Drives
Your system supports up to four 3.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives in a
3.5-inch hot-swappable hard drive carrier. The hard drives are installed at the
front of the system (see Figure 3-1). Hard drives are connected to a SAS
backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-
swappable.
