The following are important hardware rules and cautions when using SSDs: ■ This component is a hot-pluggable custsomer-replaceable unit (CRU) and can be replaced by anyone. Hot-pluggable means that the drive must be first brought offline by using a management software or operating system command; however, the server does not need to be powered off. ■ Removing a hard disk or solid state disk (SSD) before it has been prepared for removal by the software can cause data loss. ■ Before removing a drive, have the replacement drive ready to be installed. ■ To avoid overheating the server, if the server is powered on, do not leave a drive out for longer than 60 seconds at a time. Remove and replace only one drive at a time. Replace the drives access cover as soon as the service tasks are completed. ■ To maximize the drive's lifespan, do not use these drives for functions like swapping and logging. ■ The following SSDs are supported by the Sun Fire X4540 server: TABLE 1 SSDs Supported by Sun Fire X4540 by Part Numbers Component 18-GB 3.5" SSD, LZILL, SATA2 (with bracket) 18-GB 3.5" SSD, STEC, LZIL, SATA2 (with bracket) Part Number* #540-7763 #594-5620-01, XTA7210-LOGZ18G (X-option) * - Part numbers are subject to change.

Higher performance is gained with SSDs over standard drives because SSDs enable
the system to be used as cache memory for ZFS.
The following are important hardware rules and cautions when using SSDs:

the server does not need to be powered off.
Removing a hard disk or solid state disk (SSD) before it has been prepared for

Before removing a drive, have the replacement drive ready to be installed.
To avoid overheating the server, if the server is powered on, do not leave a drive
