ML150 T03 G3 SAS AU - finding compatable drives

[Mark DB]

I am an ML novice, as my situation will quickly reveal.

I purchased a Proliant ML150 T03 G3 SAS AU server [without drives installed]. I purchased a number of 432093R-B21 [146GB 1-Port NHP 3.5" SAS] drives as per the HP parts list. But they obviously don't fit securely into the HDD cage.

Can someone please advise me of a method by which I can fit these drives into the cage properly? Do I need to purchase a specific caddie/tray to hold the drives? Part number?

Any advice that helps toward a resolution will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sammy. You've highlighted to me that I have made the dumbest mistake of referencing the quick specs for the wrong model (ML110). I can't believe I did that. So sorry for wasting your time but THANKS for the timely reality check.

Hey Mark

please assign points and please close thread

I was errantly trying to fit ML110 drives to a ML150 machine. Entirely my mistake in referencing the wrong spec document, as pointed out by Sammy.
