example, you cannot mix 2TB, 4TB and/or 10TB drives in the same server).
•Installation is supported only if all hard drives are in “configured good” state.
•See the “Replacing Hard Drives” section on page 4-9 for more information.
Cisco CSS UCSM5 1RU Hard Disk Configuration
•The Cisco CSS UCSM5 1RU server ships with 2 or 4 disk drives (other combinations are not
supported).
