Servicing NVMe Storage Drives, Switch Card, and Cables

The procedure to install, remove, or replace an NVMe storage drive differs depending on the operating system. You can replace the factory-installed NVMe switch card and NVMe cables in case either of them become faulty, or you upgrade the server to use NVMe.

Note - NVMe storage drives are supported only on servers that are running Oracle Solaris or Oracle Linux. Servers that are running Oracle VM, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, or VMware ESXi do not support NVMe drives.

These topics describe how to service the NVMe drives, swtich card, and cables.
