Installing the two-bay SFF hot-plug rear drive cage and two-slot PCIe riser cage

CAUTION: For proper cooling do not operate the system without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the system supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.
IMPORTANT:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing at least one drive in the rear drive cage. Populate drive bays based on the drive numbering sequence. Start from the drive bay with the lowest device number (Drive numbering).

This drive cage option supports SFF SAS, SATA, and uFF drives. The SAS and SATA drives are assigned the drive numbers 49–50. The uFF drives are assigned 49-50 and 149-150 (Drive numbering).

The PCIe riser cage option has two slots:

  • PCIe3 x8 full-height, half-length slot

  • PCIe3 x16 full-height, half-length slot
