CoreParts KIT402 Hot-Swap Carrier Panel for Fujitsu Primergy and Eternus Servers

The CoreParts KIT402 is a 3.5-inch hot-swap carrier panel engineered for the secure mounting and seamless installation of hard drives within enterprise server environments. This mounting bracket provides the necessary structural support and reliable connectivity for both SATA and SAS drives, ensuring that your storage hardware remains stable and accessible. Designed to integrate perfectly with Fujitsu server systems, this component facilitates efficient maintenance and hardware upgrades, allowing for quick drive swaps without the need to power down the entire system.

Advantages

This hot-swap carrier panel offers a robust design that matches the performance requirements of original server hardware. By utilizing this bracket, administrators can ensure that their hard drives are properly aligned and connected, which minimizes the risk of mechanical failure or connection issues. The hot-swap capability is essential for high-availability environments where downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum, as it allows for the rapid replacement of faulty drives or the expansion of storage capacity during active operation.

Suitable for

• Fujitsu Primergy server systems
• Fujitsu Eternus storage arrays
• Fujitsu Centricstor environments
• Enterprise data centers requiring 3.5-inch drive hot-swapping
• Upgrading or replacing existing drive trays in server racks

When it may not be suitable

This carrier panel is specifically designed for 3.5-inch drives and will not accommodate 2.5-inch drives without an additional adapter. It is also not compatible with server chassis models outside of the specified Fujitsu series, so users should verify their server model before installation.

Key specifications

• Drive size compatibility: 3.5-inch
• Interface support: SATA and SAS
• Color: Brown
• Functionality: Hot-swap tray

How to use

To install a drive, place your 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drive into the carrier panel, ensuring the screw holes are aligned with the bracket. Secure the drive using the appropriate mounting screws provided with the tray. Once the drive is firmly attached, slide the carrier into the designated open drive bay of your Fujitsu server until the locking mechanism engages. The hot-swap functionality allows this process to be performed while the server is running, provided the operating system and controller support hot-plugging.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your server chassis supports 3.5-inch drive form factors.
• Confirm that your specific Fujitsu server model is compatible with the KIT402 series.
• Ensure you have the necessary drive interface (SATA or SAS) supported by your server backplane.

Usage recommendations: Always handle the carrier panel and hard drives with care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Ensure the drive is fully seated and locked into the server backplane to maintain optimal airflow and connectivity.
