Hot-plug drive guidelines

When adding drives to the server, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all device numbers.
• If only one drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest device number.
• Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together
into the same drive array.

Drive support information

Depending on the drive cage option installed, the server supports the following drive types:
• Hot-plug LFF SATA or SAS drives
• Hot-plug SFF SATA or SAS drives
The embedded HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 Controller supports SATA drive installation. For SAS support, install a
Smart Array Gen10 type-a or type-p controller option.
