6.3 Optional Tape Drive or Additional Hard Drive Flex Bay
For system configurations that require either a Tape Drive, a sixth 3.5-inch hard disk drive, or
two additional fixed 2.5-inch drives, a multi-purpose drive bay is provided. By default, this drive
bay is covered by one face plate. The bay is located next to the control panel.
Figure 31. Flex Bay
To configure two additional fixed 2.5-inch hard drives, a drive cage is installed in the default
filler panel (Product Order Code – ASR2600FIXDRV). The kit includes one cage supporting two
fixed 2.5-inch drives, four vibration isolators, power and SATA cables, and all required hardware.
Note: The 2.5-inch drives are not hot-swappable and must be cabled to either the server board
or an add-in controller card.
To configure a sixth hard drive, the filler panel is removed and the sixth hard drive accessory kit
is installed (Product Order Code – ASR2500SIXDRV). This kit includes a backplane board
insert, power cable, drive carrier, and upper filler panel.
Figure 32. Optional Sixth Hard Drive (Front View)
To install a 3.5-inch tape drive, the filler panel is removed and the optional tape drive kit is
installed (Product Order Codes – ASR2500SATAPE or ADRTAPEKIT). Both tape drive kits
include tape drive mounting tray and necessary cables.
Note: To remove the tape drive tray from the system, a spring latch located inside the system
on the back right side of the carrier must be released to allow the drive tray to slide free. Do not
attempt to pull out the drive tray without first releasing the spring latch. Doing so may damage
the plastic faceplate.
