AIOM and EDSFF "Ruler" Device Bays
The SC103 supports four AIOM modules (Advanced I/O Module) and two EDSFF (Enterprise
and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) drives, also referred to as a "ruler". These devices may
be purchased separately from the chassis. This section explains how to insert the AIOM and
EDSFF in the chassis.
Removing the Dummy Device from the Chassis
1. Remove the dummy AIOM insert from the front side of the chassis by holding the lever
and gently pulling the insert out from the chassis.
2. A Supermicro AIOM network module (such as AOC-AG-i8, sold separately) may now be
installed into the slot.
Caution:
The AIOM slot and device are NOT hot-swappable. Please disconnect the
power from the system before attempting to install or remove any AIOM network
adapter.
