7mm Configuration notes:
- 7mm drive bays support SATA or NVMe drives, but not both. Specify SATA or NVMe using feature codes BTTV (SATA) or BTTW (NVMe).
- 7mm rear drive bays occupy slot 3; slots 1 and 2 are available, and slot 2 is a low profile slot. Slot 3 is not available.
- Select feature code BS7A to enable RAID.
- RAID-1 with 7mm drives requires an additional RAID adapter in PCIe slot 2.
- RAID support for 7mm SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BT7N).
- RAID support for 7mm NVMe drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter (feature BT7P).
- The RAID adapter for 7mm drive support cannot be used with other drive bays.
- M.2 RAID and 7mm RAID are mutually exclusive.
