SFF drive converter option kit
About this task About this task
To install SFF hard drives and SSDs, use the LFF-to-SFF drive converter option.
In general, SFF drives require as little as half the power and generate less heat than LFF drives.
SSDs have no moving parts. Information is stored in microchips. Traditional hard drives use a mechanical arm with a read/write head to
move around and read information from the right location on a rotating storage platter. This lack of rotating media in an SSD:
Greatly reduces the drive power consumption in the server.
Enable an SSD to tolerate higher operating shock and vibration levels. SSDs are suitable for server workloads with highly random data
under a variety of write-workload applications.
Procedure Procedure
1. Power down the server.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the AC source.
3. Remove the power adapter cord from the power cord clamp, and then disconnect the power adapter from the server.
4. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
5. If installed, unlock and remove the security padlock and/or the Kensington security lock.
For more information, see the lock documentation.
6. If the server is in a vertical orientation, position the server in a horizontal orientation.
