2.5" Hard Disk Drive Support

The server is available with support for eight 2.5" hard disk drives as illustrated below.
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive types within the hard drive bay
is not supported. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type of host bus controller used, SATA only or SAS.
Each 2.5" hard disk drive is mounted to a drive carrier, allowing for hot swap extraction and insertion. Drive
carriers have a latching mechanism that is used to extract and insert drives from the chassis, and lock the tray
in place.
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.
