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.

Note: Due to degraded performance and reliability concerns, the use of the 3.5” drive blank as a 2.5”
device bracket is intended to support SSD type storage devices only. Installing a 2.5” hard disk drive
into the 3.5” drive blank cannot be supported.
Light pipes integrated into the drive tray assembly direct light emitted from Amber drive status and Green
activity LEDs located next to each drive connector on the backplane, to the drive tray faceplate, making them
visible from the front of the system.
