Dell PowerEdge drive caddy pack

This twelve-pack of 2.5-inch drive caddies fits Dell PowerEdge servers that use the smaller 2.9-inch hot-plug bay. Supported models span 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th generation racks including R440, R640, R740, R740xd, R350, R650, R750, R660, R760 and R770. Each tray accepts only 2.5-inch hard drives. Buyers whose servers have the larger bay size cannot use these caddies.

Passive thermal design with LED light pipes

The caddies contain no fans or active cooling; drive temperature depends entirely on server airflow. A moulded plastic rail channels the backplane activity LEDs to the front of each tray, making green activity and green or amber status lights brighter and easier to read. No extra power draw is added beyond the drive itself. Installers who need acoustic data will find none, as the parts are mechanically silent.

Sticker labels and setup manual included

Adhesive labels let administrators mark each bay for quick identification during maintenance. A printed setup manual walks through the insertion and removal procedure for hot-plug bays. No mounting screws, tools or software utilities are supplied. Buyers who need drive screws or rail kits must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install these 2.5-inch drive caddies into a 2.9-inch hot-plug bay on a PowerEdge R740?

Confirm your server uses the smaller 2.9-inch bay, then slide each caddy into the slot until the latch clicks; the LED rail connects automatically to the backplane.

What maintenance will the bright LED light pipes need over time?

The plastic light pipes are passive and require no maintenance; if a pipe cracks, replace the individual caddy.

Which component limits sustained operation when all 12 bays are populated in a R740xd?

The server backplane and cooling capacity set the limit, not the caddies themselves.
