CAUTION Do not
turn off or restart your system while the hard drive is being formatted.
Doing so can cause a hard drive failure.
NOTE Do not mix enterprise
class hard drives with entry class hard drives.
Your system supports four 3.5-inch entry hard drives and enterprise
class hard drives. Entry hard drives are designed for 8x5 operating
environment and enterprise class hard drives are designed for 24x7
operating environment. Two hard drives are located in the removable
hard drive cage and two hard drives are located in the fixed hard
drive bay.
Choosing the right hard drive type depends
on the usage pattern. Improper use of entry hard drives (workload
rating exceeding 55 TB/year) leads to significant risk and increases
the failure rate of the drives. Due to industry advances, in some
cases, the larger capacity drives have been changed to a larger sector
size. The larger sector size can have impacts on operating systems
and applications. For more information about these hard drives, see
the 512e and 4Kn Disk Formats white paper and 4K Sector
HDD FAQ document at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
All hard drives are connected to the system
board through the hard drive backplane. Hard drives are supplied in
hot-swappable hard drive carriers that fit in the hard drive slots.
When you format a hard drive, allow
enough time for the formatting to be complete. Be aware that high-capacity
hard drives can take a long time to format.
