⚙️ Fit Notes

• Match your original tray or chassis accessory part number whenever possible
• Confirm your chassis supports MCP-220-00043-0N before ordering
• Confirm your server uses compatible 3.5" hot-swap bays
• This tray supports one 2.5" drive installed into a compatible 3.5" hot-swap bay
• The drive interface depends on the system backplane; this tray itself does not convert SATA to SAS, SAS to SATA, or NVMe to SATA/SAS
• This is not intended for NVMe drive bays unless your chassis documentation specifically lists this tray for that use
• For NVMe 3.5" to 2.5" conversion, some systems require different orange-tab NVMe tray options
• Verify drive height, screw mounting points, tray latch style, backplane alignment, and LED lightpipe alignment before installation
• This listing includes the caddy tray only
• Drive, screws, server, backplane, cables, and additional mounting hardware are not included unless shown
