Installing a non-hot-plug hard drive

The server supports up to two SATA hard drives with the embedded controller.
The server supports up to two SAS or two SATA hard drives with the following options:

Optional SAS controller

Optional SAS controller cable

functionality)

For optimal performance, do not mix SAS and SATA hard drives.

CAUTION:

To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server

unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
