17 PowerEdge C5220 Technical Guide

5 Storage

Each PowerEdge C5220 8-sled and 12-sled microserver can support a maximum of four 2.5-inch

SATA/SSD/SAS or two 3.5-inch SATA/SAS drives. The drives are not hot-pluggable as they are

embedded on each sled. Depending on which form factor of drive is used, the following hard drive

boards are installed in the individual sleds:

 2.5-inch hard drives boards plug directly into the sled with the SATA onboard connectors. Each

2.5-inch drive is supported by a metal bracket that sits between the hard drive and the sled.

 3.5-inch hard drives using a hard drive board require the cables to connect to the PowerEdge

C5220 system board SATA connectors.

In addition, the PowerEdge C5220 has an SD slot located on the PCIe riser for loading an embedded

hypervisor.

PowerEdge C5220 SD card reader

The PCIe risers on the PowerEdge C5220 include an SD card reader slot. Cards installed in this slot

can be used for storing an embedded hypervisor.

PowerEdge C5220 hard drive cable routing

 When using the 3.5-inch hard-drive board, the hard drives require hard drive cables to connect

to the PowerEdge C5220 MB SATA connectors.

 The connector on the system board side provides an electrical connection for hard drive board.

The PowerEdge C5220 uses the PCIe x8 and PCIe x4 connectors on the system board side to

route both I/O signals (STA, LAN and sideband signal) and power rails from the hard drives.

Internal storage

The PowerEdge C5220 supports up to four hard drives per server node depending on the number of

installed nodes (2–4) and the backplane type (2.5-inch direct, 2.5-inch expander or 3.5-inch

expander).

 Support for 7.2K, 10K and 15K RPM 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SAS drives

 Support for 7.2K RPM Enterprise 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives
