Additional 8x 2.5-inch SFF hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD upgrade kit
69Y0895 upgrades models with eight 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays to 16x 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays (configuration 4 in Figure 5). This option includes a SAS expander card that fits into a regular PCI-E slot, decreasing the number of available slots by one. The RAID controller occupies a separate PCI-E slot. Two PCI-E slots are occupied by storage cards in this configuration. Disk backplanes are connected to the SAS expander, and the SAS expander is connected to the RAID controller.
