3.7 Storage Drives
The CSE-802ETS chassis supports 12 3.5" storage drives in toolless drive carriers to simplify
their removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow.
The drives rest on metal brackets that runs the full width of the chassis. They attach to the
system by means of three small, horizontal backplanes that supports four 3.5" HDD each,
and each row of four 3.5" HDDs attaches to the backplane behind each row.
An additional four hot-swap EDSSF and two 2.5", 7mm NVMe/SATA drive bays are located
at the front of the system.
Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and
servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website product pages
at https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/Ultra.cfm.
Checking the Temperature of an NVMe Drive
There are two ways to check using BMC.
Checking a Drive
•
BMC > Server Health > NVMe SSD – Shows the temperatures of all NVMe drives.
•
BMC > Server Health > Sensor Reading > NVME_SSD – Shows the single highest tem-
perature among all the NVMe drives.
Installing Drives
The front of the system has four hot-swap EDSSF (0-3 below) and two 2.5", 7mm drive bays
(4 and 5 below) that support NVMe/SATA drives.
