Drive guidelines
CAUTION: Do not remove an NVMe SSD from the drive bay while the Do Not Remove button LED is
flashing. The Do Not Remove button LED flashes to indicate the device is still in use. Removal of the
NVMe SSD before the device has completed and ceased signal/traffic flow can cause loss of data.
Depending on the configuration, this server supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives.
Observe the following general guidelines:
• For drive numbering, see Drive bay numbering on page 9.
• The NVMe SSD is a PCIe bus device. Do not remove a device attached to a PCIe bus without allowing it
to first complete and cease the signal/traffic flow.
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
