Note: NVMe drive bays can accept either SATA/SAS or NVMe drives.
Step 1.
Determine the drive type that you can install in the bay (SATA/SAS or NVMe) based on labels
stenciled on the front of the server and any drive bay labels that might have been applied to the
front of the server. These labels correspond to the drive backplane types that are installed. The
drive type must match the drive bay type. Drive type information is available on the package that
contains the drive.
Step 2.
Install the hot-swap drive in the drive bay.
If the server is operating (turned on), the green activity LED on the drive should light solid, indicating
that the drive is receiving power.
