5.2 3.5” Hard Disk Drive Support
The server is available with support for four 3.5” hard disk drives as illustrated below.
Figure 22. 3.5" Hard Drive Bay Configuration
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive types within the hard drive bay
is not supported. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type of host bus controller used, SATA only or SAS.
Each 3.5” hard disk drive is mounted to a drive tray, allowing for hot swap extraction and insertion. Drive trays
have a latching mechanism that is used to extract and insert drives from the chassis, and lock the tray in place.
Note: To maintain system thermals, all drive bays must be populated with a drive tray
mounted with a hard disk drive, SSD, or supplied drive blank.
The provided 3.5” drive blank can also be used as a 2.5” device bracket, allowing a 2.5” SSD to be installed
into a 3.5” device carrier.
