2.5-inch hard disk drive area (middle cage)

The front of server models with 2.5-inch hard disk drive bays consists of three cages:

•The left cage consists of the front panel board, the front VGA DB-15 connector, the diagnostic module, the pull-out information card, and the slim optical drive bay.

•The middle cage consists of the number 0 to number 7 hard disk drive bays. There is either a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive or a 2.5-inch dummy hard disk drive tray installed in each bay.

•The right cage consists of the number 8 to number 15 hard disk drive bays. There is either a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive or a 2.5-inch dummy hard disk drive tray installed in each bay. If the server supports up to eight hard disk drives, there will be an EMI-protective panel that covers the right cage as a whole.
