Different generation of microserver ... I hadn't seen the gen8's till you
mentioned them today (I actually thought you were mentioning  the rack
based dl*gen8s) ...

The previous gen microservers (N40/45/54L) have all have a 5.25" bay at the
top principally for an optical drive but it's common use to put extra
drives in there (caddied or just plain wedged .. my OS drive is a single
3.5" drive wedged in it for instance).

See the N40L wiki here for an idea of what I'm talking about:
