•  10x2.5" AnyBay front backplanes support rear NVMe (U.2/U.3) drives but do not support rear SAS/SATA 
drives.
This section provides thermal information for the storage configuration when 7mm drives are installed.
Note: Among 10 x 2.5" configurations, only 10 x 2.5" NVMe (Gen 4) supports closed loop heat sink. 10 x 
2.5" AnyBay (Gen 4/ Gen 5) and 10 x 2.5" NVMe (Gen 5) do not support it.
