Description

Edge Memory PE254308 2.5in IBM SAS/SATA Tray Caddy

Overview

The Edge Memory PE254308 is a 2.5-inch drive tray caddy designed for seamless integration with specific IBM System x server models. This caddy is essential for installing SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs into servers that utilize this form factor, ensuring proper physical mounting and electrical connection. It's a direct replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, allowing you to expand storage capacity or replace failed drives in your IBM infrastructure. The PE254308 specifically fits IBM System x3650 M3 and M4 servers, providing a secure housing for 2.5-inch drives.

Compatibility

This drive caddy is confirmed compatible with the following IBM server models:

  • IBM System x3650 M3
  • IBM System x3650 M4

It supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces for 2.5-inch form factor drives. Ensure your server chassis has the necessary drive bays and backplane connectivity for 2.5-inch drives before purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation involves sliding the 2.5-inch drive into the PE254308 caddy, securing it with screws (if applicable, though often the drive itself is secured by the caddy's retention mechanism), and then sliding the populated caddy into an available drive bay on the server. The caddy makes contact with the server's backplane for data and power. No special tools are typically required beyond basic hand tools for drive installation into the caddy itself.
