3.7 Storage Drives
The CSE-217BD2 chassis supports 24 hot-swap 2.5" hybrid storage drive bays. Each node
controls 12 drives. For each node, two drives support NVMe PCIe 5.0 and the remaining
drives support NVMe PCIe 4.0.
• DNTR: 24 hybrid NVMe/SATA3 drive bays
• DNC8R: 24 hybrid SAS3/NVMe drive bays (SAS3 supported via Broadcom 3816 AOC)
Drive Carriers
Each drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. For
RAID congurations using a controller, the meaning of the status indicator is described in
the table below. For OS RAID or non-RAID congurations, some LED indications are not
supported, such as hot spare.
