3.2.1
Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive Trays
In a hot swap configuration, each hard drive must be mounted to a hot swap drive tray, making
insertion and extraction of the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own
dual purpose latching mechanism which is used to both insert/extract drives from the chassis
and lock the tray in place. Each drive tray supports a light pipe providing a drive status indicator,
located on the backplane, to be viewable from the front of the chassis.
Note: Depending on the controller used, SATA hard disk drives may not report errors using the
drive's status indicator.

3.2.2
Fixed Drive Trays
In a fixed drive configuration, each SATA/SCSI hard drive must be mounted to a non-hot swap
drive tray. The tray is designed to slide into the drive bay and lock into place. To remove the
drive, the chassis must be opened to disengage the drive tray latch from the bay.
3.2.3
Drive Blanks
Drive blanks must be used when no drive is used in a hard drive bay. Drive blanks simulate the
spatial volume of a hard disk which is required to maintain proper air pressure limits necessary
to cool the system.
