6.4 Internal – Fixed Mount Solid State Drive (SSD) Support
The system can support up to two internal fixed mount 2.5” Solid State Drives (SSD). Each drive is attached to
the top side of the air duct as illustrated below.
Figure 33. 2.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) Mounting Option
A 2x3 pin power connector on the server board labeled “ODD/SSD PWR” is designed to provide power to both
SSDs or a single SSD and an optical drive. Using the supplied power harness, one power lead is routed to
the optical drive bay, and two longer power leads are routed to the SSDs. SATA signals for one SSD and one
optical drive or two SSDs, are cabled from the two white 7-pin AHCI SATA connectors on the server board.
NOTE: Mounting standard hard disk drives to the CPU air duct is NOT a supported configuration. Mounting
hard disk drives to the CPU air duct may cause data loss, performance degradation, and premature drive
failures.
