Drive options
The server supports up to four non-hot-plug LFF drives in the default configuration.
The embedded storage controller supports SATA drives only. To support SAS drives, install an HPE Host
Bus Adapter or an HPE Smart Array controller.
The default drive cage may be replaced with an optional four-bay LFF hot-plug drive cage to support up to
four hot-plug LFF drives.
The default drive cage may alternatively be replaced with an optional eight-bay SFF hot-plug drive cage to
support up to eight hot-plug SFF drives. If the optional eight-bay SFF drive cage is installed, the server
supports four SFF drives using the embedded storage controller. An optional storage controller is required
to support up to eight SFF drives.
An optional drive enablement kit may be installed in each of the two media bays to support up to two
additional LFF drives connected to the embedded SATA controller. If the RPS option is installed, only the
upper media drive bay will be available for option installation.
