SL6000 System disk drive installation kits

Each kit contains SAS or SATA cables with power cables and installation instructions. This section provides example illustrations from some of the available installation kits.

NOTE:

The installation kits contain the SAS cables for the specific hard drive configuration and the instructions. The installation kits do not include the SFF disk drive kit. The SFF disk drive kit must be purchased separately and the configuration being considered may require more than one kit. Consult Table 1 to verify the number of SFF hard drive kits required for each hard drive configuration.
