2.7 Hard Disk Drives
The CG2200 Carrier Grade Server chassis supports up to six hard disk drives which are accessible from
the front of the chassis with the bezel removed. The hard disk drives are mounted in removable drive
carriers that latch into the drive bay sub-assembly. Up to six 2.5-inch hot-swappable SAS technology
rotating hard drives and/or SATA solid state drives can be mounted in the drive bay.
Drives can consume up to 12W of power, each. Drives used in this server must be specified to run at a
maximum ambient temperature of 40°C.
NOTES:
1) SATA rotating HDDs are not recommended for use in this system because they are sensitive to
rotational vibration from system fan blades and other HDDs.
2) The CG2200 server does not support all SAS or SATA drive models. For a list of validated hard drive
manufacturers and hard drive types, refer to the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) on
the Kontron website at

Downloads, then Compatibility Matrix).
2.8 SAS Hardware RAID Controller
Software RAID 0/1/10 is supported for all six SAS drives or SATA SSDS. If additional levels of software
RAID are needed, see the Configuration Guide for orderable options.
Hardware RAID is available as a separately-orderable kit and additional CG2200 RAID cable kit. This kit
provides cables and brackets to support both an LSI and an Intel hardware RAID controller.
For more information about these options, refer to the Configuration Guide located on the support website
at

2.9 SATA Disk on Module
A SATA DOM can be implemented on the server board. To use this HDD functionality, you need a
separately-purchased card. For a list of qualified third party vendors, see the Tested Hardware and
Operating System List (THOL). The latest version of the Configuration Guide is located on the Kontron
