Servicing Drives
The server provides six 2.5-inch drive bays, accessible through the front panel. See “Front
Panel Components (Service)” on page 13. Drives can be removed and installed while the server
is running. This feature, referred to as being hot-serviceable, depends on how the drives are
configured.
Note - The server supports traditional, disk-based storage devices and Flash SSDs, which are
diskless storage devices based on solid-state memory. Either type of drive can be a boot device.
The terms “drive” and “HDD” are used in a generic sense to refer to both types of internal
storage devices.
These topics explain how to service drives.
