摘要: The present invention provides a method for allowing multi-drive tray (MDT) to be interchanged with battery backup unit (BBU) within disk enclosure blade (DEB) of server. DEB is implemented comprising plurality controller cards and MDTs. One the MDT slots configured BBU tray. designed include multiple BBUs have packaging, mounting, air flow characteristics that are similar an MDT. In one embodiment, card queries each slot determines if any queried contain If contains tray, manages as slot. Otherwise,
