Installing the four-bay LFF hot-plug rear drive cage

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 rear drive cage option supports low-profile LFF SAS and SATA drives. These drives are assigned the drive numbers 49–52.
