RS700A-E9-RS12
The system supports twelve (12) 2.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS/NVMe storage devices. The
storage device installed on the storage device tray connects to the motherboard SATA/SAS/
NVMe ports via the SATA/SAS/NVMe backplane (SAS storage devices require an optional
ASUS PIKE II card).
To install a 2.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS/NVMe storage device:
1. Push the spring lock to the right (A) then pull the tray lever outward (B) to release the
storage device tray. The storage device tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the
storage device tray out of the bay.
3. Place the storage device tray on a
flat and stable surface.
4. Prepare the SATA/SAS/NVMe
storage device and the bundled set
of screws.
