3.6 Storage Drives
The system supports eight E1.S solid state drives (SSDs) that are 9.5mm or 15mm. Two M.2
SSDs are installed by the manufacturer.
Note: Enterprise-level storage modules are recommended for use in Supermicro servers. For
compatible storage drives, see the SYS-221GE-NR product page.
Installation and Maintenance
Each E1.S SSD has two LED indicators.
To install or replace a drive, lift the latch on the front and pull. Carefully slide the new drive in.
Checking the Temperature of an NVMe Drive
There are two ways to check using the BMC Dashboard.
Checking a Drive
• BMC Dashboard > Server Health > NVMe SSD – Shows the temperatures of all NVMe
drives.
• BMC Dashboard > Server Health > Sensor Reading > NVME_SSD – Shows the single
highest temperature among all the NVMe drives.
