Mass storage devices (drives)
The server supports a maximum of eleven mass storage devices. The top-most drive bay (bay 11) is
populated with an optical drive in the standard configuration. The next lower drive bay (bay 10) can
accommodate an additional optical drive, and bay 9 can accommodate a tape drive. The upper hard
drive area supports a non-hot-plug or hot-plug hard disk drive (HDD) cage providing bays 1 through 4.
Servers shipped with a hot-plug HDD cage in the upper drive bay area can support an additional hot-
plug HDD cage in the lower drive bay area providing bays 5 through 8. Servers shipped with a non-
hot-plug HDD cage in the upper bay area can be upgraded to a hot-plug HDD system by replacing
the non-hot-plug HDD cage with an optional hot-plug HDD cage. The server supports SATA or SAS
drives.
