For hot-swappable drives (including NVMe and non-NVMe), no need to power down the server. You can insert the disk. | * Assemble the caddy and insert the disk. | ||
For non-hot-swappable drives, check the server manual to determine if powering off the server is necessary. | * For hot-swappable drives (including NVMe and non-NVMe), no need to power down the server. You can insert the disk. | ||
Follow the server’s manual and insert the disk into the correct drive bay, matching the slot number in iDRAC. | * For non-hot-swappable drives, check the server manual to determine if powering off the server is necessary. | ||
