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.
The server supports traditional, disk-based storage devices, Flash SSDs, which are diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory, and SFF-8639 NVMe PCIe SSDs, which are diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory using the NVMe software interface. NVMe drives are supported in the top four drive slots, while other drives are supported in any slot. Any of these drives can be a boot device.
These topics explain how to service drives.
