RS700-E9-RS12U
The system supports twelve (12) 2.5" hot-swap SATA/SAS/NVMe storage devices. The
storage device installed on the storage tray connects to the motherboard SATA/SAS/NVMe
ports via the SATA/SAS/NVMe backplane (SAS drives 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 tray. The storage tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever.
2. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the
storage tray out of the bay.
3. Place the storage tray on a flat and
stable surface.
4. Prepare the SATA/SAS/NVMe
storage device and the bundled set
of screws.
