Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
SCSI IDs
The server supports single- or dual-channel hard drive configurations. The
single-channel configuration (simplex) supports up to six hard drives on one
channel. The dual-channel configuration (duplex) supports two hard drives on
one channel (SCSI IDs 0 and 1) and up to four hard drives on the other channel
(SCSI IDs 2 through 5).
The SCSI IDs for both simplex and duplex configurations are illustrated. Always
populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID.
Removing a Hard Drive Blank
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage,
do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a
component or a blank.
NOTE: The server ships standard with five hard drive blanks. There
should be no empty blanks in the server.
