Hard Drives Your system supports up to four 3.5-inch (SAS or SATA) or 2.5-inch (SAS, SATA, or SSD) hard drives in 3.5-inch hot-swap hard drive carrier or cabled internal drives. Depending on your chassis, the hard drives are installed internally or at the front of the system (see Figure 3-1). Internal hard drives are connected to the system board or an optional controller card. Front-mounted hard drives are connected to a SAS backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-swappable. Removing a Drive Blank CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product. CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. 1 If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Front Bezel (Optional)" on page 77. 2 Grasp the front of the hard-drive blank, press the release lever on the right side, and slide the blank out until it is free of the drive bay. See Figure 3-5. Installing System Components 83
