Figure 28. 2.5" Drive Bay - 24 Drive Configuration
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disks or SSDs. Mixing of drive technologies (SATA/SAS)
within a common hot swap backplane is not supported. Systems with multiple hot swap backplanes can
support different drive type configurations as long as the drives attached to a common backplane are the same
and the installed controller attached to the given backplane can support the drive type. Drive type is dependent
on the type of host bus controller used, SATA only or SAS.
Each 2.5” device 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 drive, SSD, or supplied drive blank.
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.
