Intel 3.5 Inch Drive Carrier for R1300/R2300 Server Systems and M50CYP2UR312/M50FCP2UR312 Chassis

Data centers and server rooms running Intel Server Systems R1300 or R2300, or chassis M50CYP2UR312 and M50FCP2UR312, often need to add or replace 3.5-inch hard drives or SSDs. This Intel drive carrier is the exact part to mount a 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive into the hot-swap bay. It is a tool-less design, so you can slide the drive in and secure it without extra tools, then push the carrier into the server bay. The carrier is made of metal and plastic, finished in black and silver to match the server chassis. It includes mounting screws to attach the drive to the carrier. This is an internal component, not for external use.
