Questions about this item

Will the X7K8W tray work with my existing 3.5" SAS drives in a PowerEdge R740?

The X7K8W caddy accepts standard 3.5" SAS or SATA drives and is fully compatible with the PowerEdge R740, R740XD, R640 and R940.

How can I confirm the carrier is seated correctly after installation?

Slide the tray into the bay until the release lever clicks flush; the drive LED on the front panel will then show power and activity.

Does the X7K8W package include mounting screws or a drive, or must I supply them?

Only the tray carrier is supplied; 3.5" drive mounting screws and the SAS or SATA drive itself must be provided separately.
