NOTE:
• To install 4 SFF SAS/SATA drives, a 4SFF SAS/SATA drive backplane is required. To install 4
SFF NVMe drives, a 4SFF NVMe drive backplane is required.
• "/" indicates no drives are required but drive blanks must be installed.

16SFF server
Table 11-10 presents the drive configurations available for the 16SFF server and their compatible
types of storage controllers and NVMe SSD expander modules. Ta b l e 11 - 11 sho
ws drive population
for the 16SFF server.
These drive configurations use the same drive numbering scheme, and drives with the same number
are distinguished by the compute module they reside in, as shown in Figure 11-5.
