The following notes describe the type of drives that your server supports and other information that you must
consider when you install a drive.
• Depending on your server models, your server supports the following types of drives:
– SAS/SATA HDD
– SAS/SATA SSD
– NVMe SSD
For a list of supported drives, see:
https://static.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/index.shtml
• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “0”). Follow the
installation order when you install a drive. See “Front view” on page 17.
• You can mix drives of different types and different capacities in one system, but not in one RAID array.
The following order is recommended when installing the drives:
– Drive type priority: NVMe SSD, SAS SSD, SATA SSD, SAS HDD, SATA HDD
– Drive capacity priority: the lowest capacity first
• For server models with ten 2.5-inch drive bays in the front, NVMe drives are supported in drive bays 6–9.
• The drives in a single RAID array must be the same type, same size, and same capacity.
