Hello Rich,
Adding a disk tray is a non-customer procedure. It would be performed by either Hitachi or an Authorized Reseller.
Open a case with support and they can engage your local team.

Hello Rich
Do you know what kind of disk tray you're trying to add and what's there already? If you have a SN I can look it up as well. Maybe this post in the past helps you:
