Hard drives/SSDs

Depending on the configuration, your system supports four 2.5 inch SATA hard drives/SSDs, or eight 1.8 inch SATA SSDs. All drives connect to the system board through the hard-drive/SSD backplane. The hard drives/SSDs are supplied in special hot-swap drive carriers that fit in the drive bays.

Hard drive/SSD to node assignment

The hard drives/SSDs are not shared resources between the nodes in the system. Each hard drive/SSD is assigned to a specific node. Depending on the configuration, the hard drives/SSDs are assigned to the nodes in the following order.
