Drive guidelines

Depending on the configuration, the server supports SAS and SATA drives.
• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
• If only one drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
For drive numbering, see Drive bay numbering.
• Drives with the same capacity provide the greatest storage space efficiency when grouped 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.
