Internal backup units
The x3650 M5 server does not support internal tape drive options or other internal backup units. However,
it can be attached to the external tape drives using SAS or Fibre Channel connectivity (see Table 29).
Optical drives
The x3650 M5 server supports the optical drive options listed in Table 11. Storage dense models with 12x
3.5-inch or up to 24x 2.5-inch drive bays on the front do not support internal optical drive; a supported
external optical drive can used instead.
