Installing an NVMe SSD
CAUTION:
To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are
populated with either a component or a blank.
IMPORTANT:
During high-performance workloads, the operation of 1.6 TB or higher capacity NVMe SSDs can cause
the fans to operate at high speeds to maintain optimum system cooling. This high-speed fan operation
leads to a sound pressure level of between 50 dB(A) to 55 dB(A). Hewlett Packard Enterprise
recommends taking this possible acoustic condition into consideration when selecting a site for a server
that has this type of SSD option installed
Prerequisites

•
Make sure that the fan cage is installed.
