SECTION 12. STORAGE
A. Overview / Description
The PowerEdge R710 supports three dierent backplanes to support dierent hard drive configurations:
six 3.5" hard drives, four 3.5" hard drives, or eight 2.5" hard drives.
On each backplane are two LED indicators per drive slot with one or two mini-SAS x4 cable connectors
for connecting the backplane to the integrated SAS 6/iR or PERC 6i, and a power connector to connect
to the planar. Both Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives are supported. For
SAS/SATA mixing, two SAS drives are supported with the 3.5" backplane.
