Servicing Drives
The server provides eight 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. The server also can support NVMe
drives in four of the drive bays. Either type of drive can be a boot device. The term
“drive” is used in a generic sense to refer to both types of internal
storage devices.
These topics explain how to service drives.
