Dell PowerEdge VRTX Enclosure Owner's Manual

PDF

Hard drives

  • The 3.5-inch hard drive enclosure supports up to twelve hot-swappable 3.5-inch hard drives.
  • The 2.5-inch hard drive enclosure supports up to twenty-five hot-swappable 2.5-inch hard drives.
  • All hard drives connect 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.
  • Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard drive backplane.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.
NOTE: The following procedures apply to the hard drives in the enclosure. For server module-specific hard drives, see the server module's Owner's Manual at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
