Replacing a Drive
The Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade server uses an optional front storage mezzanine module that has two drive
bays for hard disks or SSD drives, either 2.5-inch SAS, SATA, or NVMe. The storage mezzanine module
also supports a RAID controller. If you purchased the server without the front storage mezzanine module
configured as a part of the system, a pair of blanking panels may be in place. These panels should be removed
before installing disk drives, but should remain in place to ensure proper cooling and ventilation if the drive
bays are unused.
