3.4 Chassis Components
This section provides instructions on installing and replacing system components. To assure
compatibility, only use components that match the specifications or part numbers given.
Storage Drives
The system supports up to twelve 3.5"/2.5"SAS/SATA or four NVMe drives in front drive bays.
An optional controller card kit is required to support SAS and an optional cable is required
to support four NVMe drives.
The drives are mounted in tool-less drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow. Each carrier has a small space on the front
to place an orange or purple label to help distinguish between NVMe or SAS/SATA drives.
Drive carrier status indicators are described in Section 1.2
Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro servers.
For compatible storage drives, see
AS-2014CS-TR.cfm.
Installing Drives
The system supports twelve hot-swap SATA/SAS3/NVMe hybrid drive bays.
