NOTE: A storage controller option is required to support more than 4 drives.
NOTE: To install more than 4 SFF drives in the drive cage, install a storage controller option.
11. Install the hot-plug drives ("Installing a hot-plug drive" on page 41).
The hot-plug cage allows accessing storage drives from the server front bezel. The hot-plug drive
cage only supports hot-plug drives. Non-hot-plug drives installed in a hot-plug cage will fail.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server
unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
Populate drive bays, based on the drive numbering sequence. Start from the drive bay with the
lowest device number ("Drive numbering" on page 13).
Port 1 of the hot-plug drive backplane supports drives 1 to 4. Port 2 of the hot-plug drive backplane
supports drives 5 to 8.
