v When you mix drive backplane configurations, all 1.8-inch SSD drive backplanes
must be installed above the all 2.5-inch drive backplanes. See "Drive IDs" on
page 71 for drive ID assignment information and "Supported SAS/SATA drive
backplane configurations" on page 72 for information about the combination of
supported drive backplane configurations.
v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When
you install a drive, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay in the
event that you later remove the device.
v For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
