1211 Rear Panel

CS500 model 1211 optional SSDs, rear connectors, and riser card bays.

The CS500 model 1211 server supports two 6Gb/s hot swap SATA SSDs installed in a modular drive bay in the back of the system. Because of thermal limits in this area of the chassis, the rear hot swap drive bay cannot support hard disk drives. The SSDs are installed in 2.5in drive carriers that connect to a backplane mounted in the rear of the module bay.

Supported SATA SSDs must not exceed the following power and thermal limits:

  • One or two SATA SSDs supporting up to 4W per device with a case temperature rating of 70°C
  • One or two SATA SSDs supporting up to 1.5W per device with a case temperature rating of 60°C
