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.
