Hard Drives
Your system can accommodate up to eight 2.5" SAS hard drives or five
3.5-inch SAS hard drives. All drives connect to the system board through a
SAS backplane board. See "SAS Backplane (Service-Only Procedure)" on
page 122 for information on these backplane options. Systems with an
optional SAS RAID controller card support hot-plug drive operation.
Figure 3-23 shows the ID numbers of the drives.
