Hard disk drives
The system supports three hot-swap SATA/SAS hard disk drives per node (available only
when an optional ASUS PIKE SAS RAID card is installed) or three hot-swap SATA hard disk
drives per node. The hard disk drive installed on the drive tray connects to the motherboard
SATA/SAS ports via the SATA/SAS backplane.
To install a hot-swap SATA/SAS HDD
1.
Release a drive tray by pushing the
spring lock to the right, then pulling the
tray lever outward. The drive tray ejects
slightly after you pull out the lever.
2.
Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the
drive tray out of the bay.
3.
Take note of the drive tray holes. Each
side has three holes to fit different types
of hard disk drives. Use two screws on
each side to secure the hard disk drive.
4.
Place a SATA/SAS hard disk drive on
the tray, then secure it with four screws.
