Extra Storage Options
If you install a Mid-Drive Tray, the 1U Low-profile Heatsinks will be installed for both sockets. If the NVDIMMs are only supported on the 4x 3.5" Mid Tray. When the NVDIMM is installed, the battery will take the place of (1) Drive in the Mid-Tray. The 4x 2.5" Mid Drive tray does not support the NVDIMM Drives. It has no position for the battery.
The Rear Drive cages take up two sections of PCIe slots and will leave you with only 3 Low Profile slots with Riser 1.
Mid-Tray 4x 3.5"
Mid-Tray 4x 2.5" in Hybrid Carrier
Rear Drives 4x 2.5"
Rear Drives 2x 3.5"Riser Configurations | Max: 8x PCIe 3.0
The Rear drive cage takes up two PCIe Sections. If you do not have any rear drives or PCIe risers installed the PCIe blanks will come with your configuration.
