Configuration notes:

The AnyBay backplane allows either SAS/SATA drives or NVMe PCIe drives in the drive bays 8 and 9.
Configurations with NVMe PCIe drives are supported only for Machine Types 7Y51, 7Y52, and 7Y72;
Machine Type 7Y73 does not support configurations with NVMe PCIe drives.
Field upgrades for models with 3.5-inch drive bays:
Models with 4x 3.5" SS drive bays and an onboard SATA controller can be upgraded to support
a hardware RAID controller or HBA by using the 4x3.5" SS Backplane Bracket Kit for HW
RAID/HBA (4M17A14200).
Models with 4x 3.5" SS drive bays can be upgraded to support 4x 3.5" HS drive bays and a
hardware RAID controller or HBA by using the 3.5" HS SATA/SAS 4-Bay Backplane Cable Kit
(4M17A13565). The kit includes the hot-swap backplane (B412) and the SAS/SATA cable for HW
RAID/HBA (B415).
Models with 4x 3.5" HS drive bays and an onboard SATA controller can be upgraded to support
a hardware RAID controller or HBA by using the 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cable for HW
RAID/HBA (4Z57A12652) .
Field upgrades for models with 2.5-inch drive bays:
Models with 8x 2.5" HS drive bays and an onboard SATA controller can be upgraded to support
a hardware RAID controller or HBA by using two 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cables for HW
RAID/HBA (4Z57A12652).
Models with 8x 2.5" HS drive bays and an onboard SATA controller can be upgraded to support
10x 2.5" HS drive bays and a hardware RAID controller or HBA by using the 2.5" HS AnyBay 10-
Bay Backplane (4C57A12112). The following additional cables are needed:
NVMe support: Two 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cables for HW RAID/HBA (4Z57A12652)
and two 10x2.5" HS NVMe Cables (4Z57A12651).
No NVMe support: Three 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cables for HW RAID/HBA
(4Z57A12652).
Models with 8x 2.5" HS drive bays and a hardware RAID controller or HBA can be upgraded to
support 10x 2.5" HS drive bays by using the 2.5" HS AnyBay 10-Bay Backplane (4C57A12112).
The following additional cables are needed:
NVMe support: Two 10x2.5" HS NVMe Cables (4Z57A12651).
No NVMe support: One 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cable for HW RAID/HBA
(4Z57A12652).
Models with 10x 2.5" HS drive bays and an NVMe Switch Adapter can be upgraded to support a
hardware RAID controller or HBA by using two 3.5"/2.5" HS SAS/SATA x4 Cables for HW
RAID/HBA (4Z57A12652).
Controllers for internal storage are not included with the field upgrade options.
The M.2 SSD cannot be used in the configurations with eight drives that are connected to the onboard
SATA controller (the SATA port 7 is shared between the drive bay 7 and the M.2 connector).
