v
Each of the drive bays either has a drive, or a filler panel and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) shield installed.

work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of
the computer.

Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are
provided with the adapters.
