Drive Tray Bezel

3.5”

2.5”

The drive tray is designed to accommodate separately purchased SAS or SATA
interface hard disk drives. There is a release button

(1)

that has to be used to retrieve disk

drives from the chassis. To the right of the bezel plate, there is a drive busy LED

(2)

and a

power status LED

(3)

.

NOTE

Please note: The status LEDs of a 2.5” HDD tray are on the front panel of an SFF

(Small Form Factor) enclosure itself, below each tray or top right (3U / 36-bay).

WARNING

Be careful not to warp, twist, or contort the drive tray in any way (e.g., by dropping it or
resting heavy objects on it). If the drive bay structure is deformed or altered, the drive
trays may not fit into the drive bay.
