Hard drive options

SATA hot-plug capability, install an optional controller and hot-plug cable option kit.
Hard drive guidelines
When adding hard drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
• If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
Optional storage controllers provide support for hot-plug capability and drive LEDs. Controller options
are:
• The embedded controller supports non-hot-plug SATA hard drives. Drive LEDs are not supported.
• Optional SATA controllers support hot-plug SATA hard drives and drive LEDs.
• Optional SAS controllers support hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drives and drive LEDs.
