IBM 8682 manual Hard disk drive component locations, Hard disk drive activity light green

vThe server supports three standard and three optional 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. The standard hot-swap bays are bays 1 through 3 (from bottom to top). The optional hot-swap bays are bays 4 through 6 (from bottom to top). Bays 1 through 3 are located in the standard hard disk drive cage, to the left of bays 4 through 6 in the optional hard disk drive cage.

Note: The server does not support half-high hot-swap drives or internal tape drives.

vThe hot-swap bays connect to a hot-swap drive backplane. The backplane is a printed circuit board behind the bays.
