3.3 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.
The system supports four hot-swap 3.5" SAS/SATA storage drives in hybrid bays. An optional
controller card kit is required to support SAS.
The drives are mounted in tool-less drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow. Each carrier has a small space on the front
to receive a label, orange or purple, to help distinguish NVMe or SAS/SATA.
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
