HDD extension box Accessible drives and LSD/LSP
7.4 HDD extension box
In the base units two 5.25-inch bays for accessible drives can be used to install
an HDD extension box.
Two variants of the HDD extension box are available:
● HDD extension box for 3.5-inch HDD modules (Multibay 2):
Multibay 2 contains one bay for a LSP or LSD, one bay for a DVD drive, and
two bays for 3.5-inch HDD modules.
● HDD extension box for 2.5-inch HDD modules:
This HDD extension box contains eight bays for 2.5-inch HDD modules.
The HDD extension box is supplied without EasyClick rails. You need 4 M3
screws. Before installing a new HDD extension box you must therefore remove
the EasyClick rails from one dummy cover and mount two EasyClick rails on the
HDD extension box.
Ê Open the server and remove the the front cover or the rack front cover as
described in the chapter "Preparation" on page 27.
Ê Remove the dummy covers from the required 5.25-inch bays (see section
"Equipping of the bays" on page 54 and section "Removing the dummy
cover" on page 56).
Ê Detach the EasyClick rails from a dummy cover by removing the four screws
on each side (see figure 26 on page 56).
I Note that there are two M3 screws and two UNC screws on each side
(see figure 27 on page 57).
V CAUTION!
Keep the dummy covers for future use. If you remove the HDD extension
box again and do not replace it with a new one, the dummy covers must
be reinstalled to comply with EMC regulations and to satisfy cooling
requirements and fire protection measures.
