Hard-Drive Features

The C8000XD storage sled is available with 12-drive or 24-drive option. All

hard-drives are mounted in special hard-drive carriers and connect to the

hard-drive backplane inside the sled.

• Standard hard-drive carrier supports 3.5-inch SAS/SATA/SSD hard-drive.

• Flexible hard-drive carrier supports 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/SSD hard-drive.

• Expansion hard-drive carrier supports two 2.5-inch SSD hard-drives.

The 12-drive configuration installs 12 standard or flexible hard-drive carriers.

The 24-drive configuration installs 12 expansion hard-drive carriers. See

"Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns" on page 10 for information on the hard-drive

indicators on the sled. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur

in the sled.

Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns

The C8000XD sled hard-drive backplanes include a hard-drive activity LED

and two bi-colored hard-drive status and fault LEDs per drive. The state of

the hard-drive backplane indicators alerts you to the condition of the hard-

drives in the sled. You can view the status of the hard-drive indicators on the

backplane by opening the sled (See "Opening the Sled" on page 28). The

hard-drive indicators are visible on both sides of the bottom edge of the hard-

drive cage.

The following illustrations show the location of the hard-drive indicators in a

12-drive or 24-drive bay sled.
