Installing SATA M.2 SSDs
Guidelines
An M.2 transfer module is required to install SATA M.2 SSDs.
If you are installing two SATA M.2 SSDs, install two SATA M.2 SSDs of the same model to ensure
high availability.
As a best practice, use SATA M.2 SSDs to install the operating system.
The installation procedure is the same for SATA M.2 SSDs on both sides of the M.2 transfer module.
Procedure
1.
Power off the server. For more information, see " Powering off the server ."
2.
Remove the server from the rack. For more information, see " Removing the server from a rack ."
3.
Remove the access panel. For more information, see " Removing the access panel ."
4.
Remove the chassis air baffle. For more information, see " Removing air baffles ."
5.
Insert the SSD into a socket on the M.2 transfer module, as shown in Figure 6-29 . Then, fasten
the screw supplied with the transfer module to secure the SSD into place.
CAUTION:
If you are installing only one SATA M.2 SSD, install it in the socket on top of the transfer module,
as shown in
Figure 6-29 .
