Installing or Replacing Hard Disk Drives
Up to six hot-swappable SAS or SATA hard disk drives can be installed in your CG2100
server. The drives go into carriers that connect to the SAS/SATA backplane board once
the carriers with drives attached are inserted back into the drive bays. The CG2100
server ships with six drive carriers.

contain the empty carriers that ship with the server to maintain proper cooling.
