Installing the six-bay SFF NVMe rear drive cage
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing at least one drive in the rear drive cage. Populate
drive bays based on the drive numbering sequence. Start from the drive bay with the lowest device number (
Drive
numbering).
This drive cage option supports NVMe drives. These drives are assigned the drive numbers 1–6 (
Drive numbering).
Depending on the system configuration, the NVMe rear drive cage may connect only to PCIe slot 2, PCIe slots 2 and 6, or only
to slot 6. The number of processors required depends on which slots will be used.
• If the NVMe rear drive cage will connect only to slot 2, then only one processor is required.
• If the NVMe rear drive cage will connect to PCIe slots 2 and 6, or only to slot 6, then two processors are required.
