Notes:
The 8x2.5 SAS/NVMe Combo Backplane is capable of supporting 12Gb SAS or 6Gb SAS/SATA drives. The
SAS/SATA drives are Hot-Swappable, and each drive is mounted to a drive tray with a green latch. The front
side of the backplane includes eight drive slots. All eight slots can support SAS or SATA drives, but only the
first four are capable of supporting NVMe drives (highlighted in blue on Figure 73 ).
Any combination of NVMe drives and SAS/SATA drives can be supported as long as the number of NVMe
drives does not exceed four and they are installed into any of the first four drive connectors on the
backplane.
The NVMe drives are NOT Hot-Swappable. The system must be powered off to add or replace an NVMe
drives. To identify an NVMe drive in a system where multiple other SAS/SATA devices may be installed, look
for the blue latch release on the NVMe drive tray.
