Servicing Drives

Language:

The server provides six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. See Front Panel Components (Service). 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.

Note - The server supports traditional, disk-based storage devices and Flash SSDs, which are diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory. Either type of drive can be a boot device. The terms “drive” and “HDD” are used in a generic sense to refer to both types of internal storage devices.

These topics explain how to service drives.
