Hard Drive Bays

The system can be configured to support up to eight hot-swap 2.5" SAS or SATA hard disk
drives. Hard drives are mounted to hot-swap drive trays for easy insertion to or extraction from
the drive bay.
6.2.1

Hot-swap Drive Trays

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 insert and extract drives from the chassis, and lock the tray
assembly in place. Each drive tray supports two light pipes viewable from the front of the
chassis. The light pipes provide a green drive activity indicator and amber drive fault indicator.
The drive activity and fault LEDs are located on the backplane next to each drive connector.
