Storage drives and carrier
About A6106D
storage drives A6106D uses a carrier to mount storage drives—such as hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives
(SSD), self-encrypting drives (SED), and hybrid drives.
NOTE: The A6106D blade does not support hot-swap replacement of drives. When configuring
an A6106D blade outside of a chassis, be sure to power down the blade and remove the
power cable before removing drives or servicing any components.
Storage drives do not require power cables or data cables when mounted in the storage drive carrier. Power
and data connectors are housed inside the blade—insert and fully seat the carrier and fasten with screws.
The picture below shows the storage drive carrier.
