Drive Bay Population Requirement
In order to maintain system thermal requirements, you must fully populate all hard drive
bays. Hard drive trays used for hot-swap drives must either have a hard drive installed or not
have a hard drive installed.
Important: If the drive bay is missing or not fully populated, the system will not meet the
thermal cooling requirements of the processor, which will most likely result in degraded
performance as a result of throttling or thermal shutdown of the system. It is recommended
to apply the air block on the blank HDD carrier if the installed HDD quantity is less than four
pieces.
