FAQs

1. What does CTO mean for this storage blade?

CTO (Configure-To-Order) means the blade comes without pre-installed drives, allowing custom storage configurations to match your needs.

2. Can I use SSDs in the SB40c?

Yes, as long as they are compatible 2.5" SAS or SATA drives supported by your controller and server configuration.

3. Is this unit hot-pluggable?

The SB40c is designed for use in blade enclosures and connects directly via the midplane. Hot-plug capability depends on your overall system setup and controller support.

4. Is a Smart Array controller included?

No, the SB40c relies on an adjacent server blade's Smart Array controller via shared backplane. Controllers must be purchased separately.
