6.1 Hard Drive Trays
Hard drive trays must be used for both fixed mount and hot-swap drive configurations.
In fixed mount drive configurations, the system ships with a fixed mount drive tray in each of the
3 drive bays. Only the two bays located farthest from the Control Panel will be used to support
hard drives. Each installed hard drives is mounted to a fixed mount drive tray that is designed to
slide into the drive bay and lock into place. To remove the drive, the chassis must be opened to
disengage the drive tray latch from the bay. The third drive bay is unused in this system
configuration but must be populated with a drive tray and drive blank installed.

Figure 19. Fixed Drive Tray with Drive Blank Installed
Hot-swap drive trays make insertion and extraction of the drive from the system very simple.
Each drive tray has its own dual purpose latching mechanism which is used to both insert and
extract drives from the chassis and lock the tray in place. Each drive tray supports a light pipe to
direct light from the drive status LED on the backplane, to the tray’s face plate allowing it to be
viewable from the front of the system.
