The server supports 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS, 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA, or 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drives (depending on the model). The following illustrations show the locations of the drive bays. Some models have seven drive bays, and some models have eleven drive bays. Table 6.
