6. Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive Bays
The chassis can support either an Active SAS/SATA or a Passive SAS/SATA backplane. The
backplanes provide the platform support for hot-swap SAS or SATA hard drives.
backplanes provide the platform support for hot-swap SAS or SATA hard drives.
The passive backplane acts as a “pass-through” for the SAS/SATA data from the drives to the
SAS/SATA controller on the baseboard or a SAS/SATA controller add-in card. It provides the
physical requirements for the hot-swap capabilities. The active backplane has a built-in SAS
controller that requires an SAS controller on the baseboard or a SAS add-in card for
communication. The Active SAS/SATA backplane reduces the number of required cables by
only using two SAS/SATA connectors to drive up to six hard drives.

When the hot swap drive bay is installed, a bi-color hard drive LED is located on each drive
carrier to indicate specific drive failure or activity. For pedestal systems, these LEDs are visible
upon opening the front bezel door.
