NOTE: Use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS backplane board. When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format. Mixed SAS/SATA Hard-Drive Configurations Mixed hard-drive configurations of SAS and SATA drives are allowed. In this configuration, two SAS drives must be installed in hard-drive slots 0 and 1 only. Up to six SATA drives may be installed in the remaining slots. Mixed 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch configurations of SAS and SATA drives are also supported in the 3.5-inch-bay chassis only. In this configuration, two 10,000RPM 2.5-inch SAS drives installed in 3.5-inch adapters must be used in harddrive slots 0 and 1 only. The remaining hard drives must be 3.5 inches in size and must be either all SAS or all SATA drives. Removing a Hard-Drive Blank CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. 1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel." 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 3-4.
