The Intel
®
Server System P4308CP4MHEN and P4308CP4MHGC support 8x3.5” drive
configuration. The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive
types within the hard drive bay is not supported. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type
of host bus controller used, SATA only or SAS. Each 3.5” hard disk drive is mounted to a drive
tray, allowing for hot swap extraction and insertion. Drive trays have a latching mechanism that
is used to extract and insert drives from the chassis, and lock the tray in place.
