Your hard disk drive can be configured in one of the following ways:
v As single drive
– Be installed as the only hard disk drive in a computer
– Replace a hard disk drive
v As one of multiple drives to operate with other installed hard disk drives
Notes:
1. SAS hard disk drives can not operate with SATA hard disk drives.
2. Make sure that all the other hard disk drives in your computer are SAS
hard disk drives.
The SAS and SATA drives can not operate together as they have different
spinning speeds, which cause the two drives to place different rotational
vibration forces on the chassis. If a SATA drive of 7200 RPM and a SAS
drive of 15000 RPM are installed in the same chassis, the two different
forces on the chassis could cause performance degradation and
additional acoustic noise.
In addition to this User's Guide, your option package contains:
v Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive
v Drive handling flyer
v Safety information manual
v Two SAS cables
Contact your place of purchase if parts are missing or damaged. Be sure to
retain your proof of purchase. It may be required to receive warranty service.
Installation planning
This section contains detailed information to help you plan your SAS hard disk
drive installation.
Installation requirements
To install the SAS hard disk drive, you must have:
v Documentation
The documentation that came with your computer and operating system.
v SAS compatible port
Your computer must have a SAS compatible port on system board or a
PCIe-to-SAS host bus adapter. If you are not sure about your port, see the
documentation that came with your computer. Generally, the ThinkStation
D10 series computer systems have SAS compatible ports on the system
board. The ThinkStation S10 series computer systems need a PCIe-to-SAS
host bus adapter to support SAS hard disk drives.
