Installing System Components
The system board in your system supports a single processor, five expansion
cards, and six memory modules. Internal hard drive bays offer space for four
SAS or SATA hard drives, cabled or hot-pluggable.
NOTE:
A controller expansion card is required for SAS hard drives.
The drive bays in the front of your system provide space for an optical drive,
an optional tape drive or second optical drive, an optional diskette drive, and
up to four hot-pluggable hard drives.
Power is supplied to the system board and internal peripherals through a pair
of redundant power supplies or a single non-redundant power supply.
Front Bezel
The front bezel covers the front of the system. In order to remove or install
any devices in the front drive bays, the front bezel must first be removed.
NOTE:
If you are removing or installing a hot-pluggable hard drive, the system may
remain turned on and in the upright position during removal of the front bezel (see
"Diskette Drive (Optional)" on page 84
). If you are removing or installing any other
system component(s), the system should be turned off and placed in the orientation
shown in Figure 3-1
.
