Intel recommends the following general support guidelines for server systems configured with hard drive
storage technology:
Avoid sustained server operation in extreme operating environments. Doing so will cause the system
fans to operate at their upper speed limits and produce higher levels of RVI which could affect hard
drive performance.
NOTE: Solid State Drive (SSD) performance is not impacted by the effects of system fan RVI.

Hot Swap Drive Carriers
Each SAS/SATA hard disk drive or SSD that interfaces with a backplane is mounted to a hot swap drive
carrier. Drive carriers include a latching mechanism used to assist with drive extraction and drive insertion.
NOTE: To ensure proper system air flow requirements, all front drive bays must be populated with a drive
carrier. Drive carriers must be installed with either a drive or supplied drive blank.
There are drive carriers to support 2.5" devices and 3.5" devices. To maintain system thermals, all drive bays
must be populated with a drive carrier mounted with a hard disk drive, SSD, or supplied drive blank. Drive
blanks used with the 3.5" drive carrier can also be used to mount a 2.5" SSD into it as shown below.
