Peripherals
5.25-in Half-height Peripheral Bays
Note: One multi-purpose 5.25-in drive carrier is included with the chassis. This drive carrier can
hold either a floppy drive (by removing the knock-out) or a fixed drive.
The upper bays of the server chassis are designed for removable media peripherals. Three 5.25-in,
half-height drive bays are available for floppy, CD-ROM or tape drives.
Standard and Optional Hot Swap Drive Bays
One bay supporting six cabled drives respectively ships with the standard chassis. Optional hot
swap drive bays may replace the six fixed drive bays. An optional four-drive fixed drive bay (for
cabled drives) is available. No tools are required to replace the fixed drive bays.
Optional four- and six-drive SCSI and six-drive SATA hot swap drive bays are available.
