Drive Bay

1. My DELL PowerEdge server has a 2.5-inch Drive Bay

2. I have checked the DELL PowerEdge mode compatibility sheet

3. My DELL PowerEdge server has a Hot-Plug backplane
   

4. I want to add a small 2.5-inch Hard Drive to my DELL PowerEdge server

The same server model is delivered with two different drive bay sizes. Verify whether your server model has a smaller 3-inch / 7.7 cm drive bay size for 2.5-inch hard drives.
