2.1 Installation / Replacement
For the FWA8600 hot-swappable HDD (available for FWA8600-SHD and
FWA8600-SHQ), or the IBN Network Interface Modules installations, you can
directly install them without removing the device cover.
For memory, M.2, PCIe expansion card or the optional IPMI module, you need
to remove 8 screws as shown below to pull out the lid.
This is illustrated by the example of FWA8600-NIC.
Configuration inside:
Refer to the figure below for the intenal areas to install additional 2.5”
HDD/SSD, NIC modules, and expansion card. Area A accommodates NIC
modules or 2.5” how-swappable HDD/SSD. Area B supports for two 2.5”
HDD/SSD and an expansion card.
