This chapter provides detailed instructions on how to install hardware options.
For more information on supported options, see the product QuickSpecs on the HPE ProLiant MicroServer
Gen10 website at:

To view the warranty for your server and supported options, see Warranty information.
Introduction
If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and
identify similar steps to streamline the installation process.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Drive support information
This server only supports non-hot-plug drives. These drives are not designed to be installed or removed from
the server while the system is still powered on. Power of
f the server before installing or removing a drive
option.
From a drive interface standpoint, the embedded Marvell 88SE9230 PCIe to SAT
A 6Gb/s Controller supports
SATA drives.
From a form factor standpoint, the server drive bays support 3.5-inch LFF drives. To support 2.5-inch SFF
drives,
install the SFF-to-LFF drive converter option.
To support a 7-mm SA
TA solid state drive in the media bay,
install the SSD enablement kit.
Drive installation guidelines
•
Populate drive bays based on the drive numbering sequence. Start from the
drive bay with the lowest
device number.
• All drives grouped into the same drive array must meet the following criteria:
◦
They must be either all hard drives or all solid state drives.
◦ Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
Installing an LFF drive
About this task
To add internal data storage to the server
, install one or more LFF drives in the drive bays.
