Perfect for service providers or enterprise IT teams looking to modernize server fleets efficiently by retrofitting existing systems with high-performance drive support.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Q: Is this kit compatible with non‑AnyBay drives?
    A: Yes—it allows SAS/SATA drives by default. NVMe support requires installing proper cables and labels (included).
  2. Q: Which SR650 V2 chassis are supported?
    A: Specifically validated for models 7D15, 7Z72, and 7Z73—any 2.5″ SR650 V2.
  3. Q: Do I need additional cabling?
    A: No. This kit includes both system board and PCIe switch NVMe signal cables, power cables, labels, and fillers.
  4. Q: Will mixing NVMe and SAS/SATA drive types cause compatibility issues?
    A: No—AnyBay backplane is designed to operate with mixed SAS, SATA, and NVMe simultaneously in hot-swap bays.
