Hot Swap Drive Carriers
Each SAS/SATA/NVMe* drive that interfaces with a backplane is mounted to a tool-less hot swap drive
carrier.
Drive carriers include a latching mechanism used to assist with drive extraction and drive insertion.

Note
: To ensure proper system air flow requirements, all front drive bays must be populated with a drive
carrier. Drive carriers must be installed with either a drive or supplied drive blank.
There are drive carriers to support 2.5” drives and 3.5” drives. Drive blanks used with the 3.5” drive carrier
can also be used to mount a 2.5” SSD.
