Front 2.5" Drive Installation
The front drive bay may have support for 8, 16, or 24 drive bays. Each drive bay will include a drive carrier
that must be populated with a 2.5" drive (SSD or HDD) or supplied drive blank. All drives attached to a
common backplane must match media type (SSD or HDD). Mixing drive storage media types within a
common backplane is not supported. In addition, all drives attached to a common backplane must share a
common interface type (SATA/SAS or NVMe*).
Note: To support proper airflow requirements within the system, all drive carriers installed within the front
drive bay must be populated with a drive or supplied drive blank insert.
Drive carrier removal from the chassis and installation into the chassis is tool-less. However, mounting a
drive into the drive carrier requires a Phillips* head screwdriver.
