Adding Drives to the Storage Module

The storage module includes three full-sized drive bays and the front LED panel. 
The storage module can be set up one of three ways: 
A. Add up to three extra hard drives to the drive trays.  
B. Add up to three peripheral drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.) drive trays. 

C. Add five hot swappable hard drives to the storage module. This configuration 

requires a mobile rack.  More information on mobile racks can be found at the 
Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com
