Internal disk storage options
The compute nodes have two non-hot-swap drive bays attached to the cover of the system. Either two
2.5-inch SAS HDDs or two 1.8-inch SATA SSDs can be installed. If 2.5-inch HDDs are installed, then LP
memory DIMMs are not supported, only VLP DIMMs. The use of 1.8-inch SSDs does not limit the
memory DIMMs used. SSDs and HDDs cannot be mixed.
The following table lists the supported drive options.
