3.2 Hard Disk Drive Bays
The server chassis can be configured to support either fixed or hot-swap SCSI or SATA hard
drive configurations. For hot-swap drive configurations, 3.5” x 1” hard disk drives are mounted to
hot-swap drive trays for easy insertion to or extraction from the drive bay. For fixed drive
configurations, the hard disk drives are mounted to a drive tray which is only removable from
inside the chassis.
Note:
All hard drive bays must be populated to maintain system thermals. Drive trays should
either have a hard drive or drive blank inserted.

Hot-Swap Hard Disk Drive Trays
In a hot-swap configuration, each hard drive must be mounted to a hot-swap drive tray, making
insertion and extraction of the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own
dual purpose latching mechanism which is used to both insert and extract drives from the
chassis and lock the tray in place. Each drive tray supports a light pipe providing a drive status
indicator, located on the backplane, that is viewable from the front of the chassis.
Note:
Depending on the controller used, SATA hard disk drives may not report errors using the
drive’s status indicator.
