Peripheral and Hard Drive Support Intel Entry Server Chassis SC5299-E TPS
Thermal performance of specific devices must be verified to ensure compliance to the
manufacturer's specifications.
The 5.25-in peripherals can be inserted and removed without tools from the front of the chassis
after taking off the access cover and removing the front bezel. The peripheral bay utilizes visual
guide holes to correctly line up the position of peripheral drives. Locking slide levers push
retaining pins into the drive to hold it securely in the bay. EMI shield panels are installed and
should be retained in unused 5.25-in bays to ensure proper cooling and EMI conformance.
Note: Use caution when approaching the maximum level of integration for the 5.25-in drive
bays. Power consumption of the devices integrated needs must be carefully considered to
ensure that the maximum power levels of the power supply are not exceeded.

Fixed Hard Drive Bay

®
The Intel Entry Server Chassis SC5299-E comes with a removable hard drive bay that can
accept up to six cabled 3.5-in x 1-in hard drives. Power requirements for each individual hard
®
drive may limit the maximum number of drives that can be integrated into an Intel Entry Server
Chassis SC5299-E. The drive bay is designed to allow adequate airflow between drives, and no
additional cooling fan is required. Drives must be installed in the order of slot 1, 3, 5 first
(skipping slots) to ensure proper cooling. The drive bay is secured with a tool-less retention
mechanism.
Note: The hard drive bay must be pushed forward or removed to install the server board.
