ml350p g8 sata non-sas hard drive install above dvd

[mwindham]

New to HPE server HW; I have ML350p g8 with bottom SAS cage with two HD installed. I have two 2.5 ssds, one boot, another for general data that I have on mb sata 1 and 2, dvd on sata3. What parts do I need to install properly above dvd?

As best I can tell from the manuals you referenced, my only choice is to remove dvd and put things in a 5.25 to 3.5 adapter(see previous photo). What I had hoped for was a part that would adapt something above the dvd in an empty drive cage area(previous photo).  I suspect I need to build such myself.
