Kontron CG1200 Carrier Grade Server Installation and Maintenance Guide 11
2.6 Telco Alarm Module (TAM) Board
The CG1200 server Telco Alarms Module (TAM) board provides the connector interface and supporting
logic for the telco alarms function. The TAM board also provides an alarms function with fault relays and
access by cable to the fault relay contacts at the back of the system. A ribbon cable connects the TAM
board to the front panel board.
For detailed information about the telco alarms and fault relays, see the “Telco Alarms (TAM)” chapter in
the CG1200 Carrier Grade Server Technical Product Specification on the Kontron support website at
http://us.kontron.com/support.
2.7 Hard Disk Drives
The CG1200 Carrier Grade Server chassis supports up to four hard disk drives that are accessible from
the front of the chassis when the bezel is removed. The hard disk drives are mounted in removable drive
carriers that latch into the drive bay sub-assembly. Up to four 2.5-inch hot-swappable drives, either serial
attached SCSI (SAS) rotating hard drives or SATA solid state drives (SSDs), can be mounted in the drive
bay.
Each drives can consume up to 12W of power. Drives used in this server must be specified to run at a
maximum ambient temperature of 40°C.
NOTES:
1) SATA rotating HDDs are not recommended for use in this system because they are sensitive to
rotational vibration from system fan blades and other HDDs.
2) The CG1200 server does not support all SAS or SATA drive models. For a list of validated hard drive
manufacturers and hard drive types, refer to the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) on
the Kontron website at

2.8 Software and Hardware RAID
Software RAID 0/1/10 is provided for all four SAS drives or SATA SSDs. If additional levels of software
and/or HW RAID are needed, see the Configuration Guide for all orderable options.
Hardware RAID (Intel ROC) is available as a separately-orderable module and an additional separately-
orderable CG1200 RAID cable kit that provides the cables and brackets required for installation.
