Hard Drives
All drives connect to the system board through the SAS/SATA backplane
board. Hard drives are supplied in special hot-swappable drive carriers that fit
in the hard-drive bays.
CAUTION: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is
running, see the documentation for the SAS controller card to ensure that the host
adapter is configured correctly to support hot-swap drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted.
Doing so can cause a drive failure.
NOTE: Use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the
SAS/SATA backplane board.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be
completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of
hours to format.
