Hard Drives
The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system supports hot-swappable hard drives.
A minimum of 4 SSDs or 7 drives must be installed in the chassis or in an expansion enclosure. The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system supports a maximum of 16 or 30 drives installed in the chassis. The drives are installed from left to right, and then top to bottom. The first row of drives are numbered from 0–4 from left to right, the second row of drives are numbered from 5–9 from left to right, and so on.
Dell Storage Manager
identifies drives as XX- YY, where XX is the number of the unit ID of the
storage system
and YY is the drive position inside the
storage system
