Installing or Replacing Hard Disk Drives

Up to four hot-swappable SAS hard disk drives can be installed in your CG1200 server. The drives go
into carriers that connect to the SAS backplane board once the carriers with drives attached are inserted
back into the drive bay slots. The CG1200 server ships with four drive carriers.

CAUTION: If you install fewer than four hard disk drives, the unused drive slots must contain the empty
carriers with filler panels that ship with the server to maintain proper cooling.

The CG1200 server does not support all SAS HDD or SATA SDD disk drives. To see a list of validated
manufacturers and drive models, refer to the THOL. The latest version of the THOL is located on the
Kontron support website at

http://us.kontron.com/support/

. (Search for CG1200, click on Product Downloads,

then Compatibility Matrix).

NOTE: 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.

You must remove the front bezel to add or replace a hard drive in one of the drive slots. It is not
necessary to remove the chassis cover or to power down the system. The hard drives are hot-swappable.

4.2.1 Removing an HDD Carrier from the Chassis

1. Remove the front bezel. For instructions, see 3.2.3, “Removing the Front Bezel”.

2. Select the drive slot where you want to install/replace the drive.

Drive slot 0 must be used first, then drive slot 1 and so on.
(Drive slot numbers are printed on the front panel to identify the drive slots.)

3. Remove the drive carrier from the drive bay by pressing the green button to open the lever that

engages the drive to the backplane (Figure 25, “A”).

4. Pull the drive carrier out of the chassis (“B”).
