Internal Fixed Mount Solid State Drive (SSD) Support
The system can support up to two internal fixed mount 2.5” solid state drives (SSDs). Each drive is attached
to the top side of the air duct as illustrated below.
Figure 60. 2.5" Solid state drive (SSD) mounting option
SSDs mounted to the air duct must not exceed the following power and thermal limits.
One or two SATA SSDs supporting up to 6.2 W per device with a case temperature rating of 70 °C
One or two SATA SSDs supporting up to 2.3 W per device with a case temperature rating of 60 °C
Note
: Maximum supported SSD power and thermal limits were derived based on thermal testing using a
maximum system configuration with fan redundancy support using a maximum ambient temperature of
35 °C. The test system was based on the system models utilizing a maximum number of front and rear drive
storage devices – 12 x 3.5” or 24 x 2.5” in the front and 2 x 2.5” in the back. Higher SSD power and thermal
limits maybe possible with system configurations that support 8 or 16 devices up front, no storage devices
configured in back, and lowering the maximum operating ambient temperature.
Note
: Mounting standard hard disk drives to the CPU air duct is not a supported configuration. Mounting
hard disk drives to the CPU air duct may cause data loss, performance degradation, and premature drive
failures.
A 2x3 pin power connector on the server board labeled “Peripheral PWR” is designed to provide power to
both SSDs or a single SSD and an optical drive. Using the supplied power harness, one power lead is routed
to the optical drive bay, and two longer power leads are routed to the SSDs. SATA signals for one SSD and
one optical drive or two SSDs are cabled from the two white 7-pin AHCI SATA connectors on the server
board.
