Hello.   I'm trying to find a way to expand an 8-bay SFF R730 to a 16-bay SFF setup by getting a second 8-bay backplane and drive cage.  Two questions:  1.  Is this possible/supported?   The system chassis configuration is only decided at the point of sale. After point of sale, no chassis upgrade is supported.   You need a supporting flex bay to upgrade from 8 hard drive chassis to 16 hard drive chassis. Unfortunately, the bay is only available at the point of sale
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a way to expand an 8-bay SFF R730 to a 16-bay SFF setup by getting a second 8-bay backplane and drive cage.   Two questions:  1.  Is this possible/supported? 2. What hardware is needed to accomplish this? The system board is the 599V5 which is supposedly compatible with the 8 or 16-bay configurations, but I'm pretty sure these chassis are not modular.  Can anyone lend their knowledge?
R730 8-bay SFF expansion to 16-bay SFF?
