ProcedureProcedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Install drives, if necessary.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends drives of similar type. All drives grouped in a logical drive must meet the following criteria:
They must be either NVMe, SAS, or SATA.
They must be either all hard drives or all solid state drives.
For the most efficient use of drive space, the drives must have comparable capacity.
For more information about drive installation, see Server documentation.
3. Use the internal SAS cable identified in the server QuickSpecsQuickSpecs that is compatible with the controller:
If the drives are hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the connector on the hot-plug drive cage.
If the drives are not hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the non-hot-plug drives.
4. Close or install the access panel, and secure it with thumbscrews, if any are present.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this
manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
5. Power up the server.
