Quick Specs Type: Mid Drive Tray Assembly Drive Bays: 4 x 3.5" Bays Compatibility: Dell PowerEdge R730xd (3.5" LFF Chassis Only) Installation Location: Mid-Chassis Hot-Plug Support: No (requires appropriate backplane and cabling) Part Number: 4FHR4 The Dell PowerEdge R730xd Mid Drive Tray 4x 3.5" (Part Number: 4FHR4) is designed to expand the storage capacity of your server by adding four additional 3.5-inch drive bays at the mid-chassis position. This tray supports both SATA and SAS hard drives or solid-state drives, and can accommodate 2.5-inch drives with the appropriate adapter. Ideal for applications requiring additional storage without compromising front or rear drive bay availability, this mid drive tray integrates seamlessly into the R730xd system architecture. Installation of the 4FHR4 mid drive tray is straightforward; however, please note that it does not support hot-plug capability on its own. To enable hot-swap functionality, a compatible backplane and appropriate cabling are required. By utilizing the mid-chassis area, this solution provides a flexible approach to increasing storage density, making it suitable for data-intensive environments where space optimization is critical. Ensure compatibility with your existing system configuration to fully leverage the benefits of this storage expansion option.
