The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. See Front Panel Components. Drives can be removed and installed while the server is running. This feature, referred to as being hot-serviceable, depends on how the drives are configured.
The server supports traditional, disk-based storage devices, Flash SSDs, which are diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory, and SFF-8639 NVMe PCIe SSDs, which are diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory using the NVMe software interface. NVMe drives are supported in four drive slots, while other drives are supported in any slot. Any of these drives can be a boot device.
