Does HP SL230s G8 support OS drive separate from 4 x SFF disk slots?

[uberguru]

Besides the 4 x SFF storage slots, is there a way to add an OS drive to install OS?
I want to use this as a TrueNAS storage server and need all 4 x SFF slots for storage but will need to install TrueNAS OS on another drive.

Do you understand this configuration?

Thanks

You might be able to boot off the internal MicroSD card slot. No first hand experience there though.

is there an internal SD card in SL230s G8?
Also is it safe to install TrueNAS OS on the internal micro sd card?

Yes, hence me mentioning it. If you get a SD card that's high endurance (generally targeted at dashcams), then you should be fine, at least as far as reliability goes.

Are you familiar with SL250s G8 as well? Does that have extra slot for an OS drive or same as SL230s G8?
May be i can just use SL250s G8 then

also where in the picture is the internal sd card slot?

Not terribly versed on HPE these days. You should look through their documentation. As for the location, by the right angle SFF-8087 port that's in front of the heatsink.
