Hard drives/SSDs
Depending on the configuration, your system supports four 2.5 inch SATA hard drives/SSDs, or eight 1.8
inch SATA SSDs. All drives connect to the system board through the hard-drive/SSD backplane. The hard
drives/SSDs are supplied in special hot-swap drive carriers that fit in the drive bays.
Hard drive/SSD to node assignment
The hard drives/SSDs are not shared resources between the nodes in the system. Each hard drive/SSD is
assigned to a specific node. Depending on the configuration, the hard drives/SSDs are assigned to the
nodes in the following order.
