Servicing Drives
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.
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.
