Drive installation guidelines
Observe the following general guidelines:
The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
CAUTION: CAUTION:
When a server is purchased without any drive installed, some drive bays might be empty while other drive bays
might be populated with drive blanks. To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server without a drive
or a drive blank installed.
If only one drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
For drive numbering, see Drive bay numbering.
This server does not support mixed drive types in the same drive box.
When installing NVMe drives, install either all U.2 or all U.3 drives. Mixed NVMe type installation is not supported.
All drives grouped into the same drive array must meet the following criteria:
They must be either all hard drives or all solid-state drives.
Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency.
