3.5-in Peripheral Drive Bay 

The Intel

®

 Entry Server Chassis SC5299-E supports one 3.5-in removable media peripheral, 

such as a floppy or tape drive, below the 5.25-in peripheral bays. The bezel must be removed 
prior to 3.5-in removable media installation. When a drive is not installed, a snap-in EMI shield 
must be in place to ensure regulatory compliance. A cosmetic plastic filler is provided to snap 
into the bezel. 

The 3.5-in bay is designed for tool-less insertion and removal so that no screws are required. 
On the right side of the chassis, two protrusions in the sheet metal help locate the drive. On the 
left side are two levers to lock the drive into place.

5.25-in Peripheral Drive Bays 

The Intel

®

 Entry Server Chassis SC5299-E supports two half-height 5.25-in removable media 

peripheral devices, such as a magnetic/optical disk, CD-ROM drive, or tape drive. These 
peripherals can be up to 9 inches (228.6 mm) deep on the non-redundant power chassis. The 
650-W redundant power supply is longer in length and will limit the drives to approximately 7.5-
in maximum length. As a guideline, the maximum recommended power per device is 17W.
