Installing a hot-swap drive

Your server supports a maximum of six 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-inch,
hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard hot-swap bays. In the tower model, the
hot-swap bays are arranged vertically in the standard hard disk drive cage; the bay
numbers are 0 through 5 (from bottom to top). In the rack configuration, the
hot-swap bays are arranged horizontally in the standard hard disk drive cage; the
bay numbers are 0 through 5 (from left to right). In the tower model, bays 0 through
5 are below the removable-media drive bays. In the rack configuration, bays 0
through 5 are to the left of the removable-media drive bays.
