The rear 3.5-inch drive bays areavailable on some models.The number of the installed drives in your server varies by model. The EMI integrity and cooling of the serverare protected by having all drive bays occupied. The vacant drive bays must be occupied by drive bay fillersor drive fillers.20 ThinkSystem SR650 Maintenance Manual
