3.4 Chassis Components
This section provides instructions on installing and replacing system components. To assure
compatibility, only use components that match the specifications or part numbers given.
Storage Drives
The system supports twenty-four hot-swap 2.5" storage drives. Each node controls:
•
AS -2124BT-HTR – Six SATA drives
•
AS -2124BT-HNTR – Four NVMe/SATA and two SATA drives
Note:
Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis
and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website at
Drive Carriers
The drives are mounted in drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis. These
carriers also help promote proper airflow. Even carriers without drives must remain in the
chassis for proper airflow.
Each drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. The
status indicator remains off.
