There is an upper bay and a lower bay sled for HD's in the 7500 and related models. However, you really don't need to us he lower bay sled if you just turn the upper bay 180 degrees and insert it into her the lower bay (as John as said). It won't latch but unless your shipping the unit it should not be a problem. My three PCI 7X00's have drives in the lower bays. Until recently they all had upper bay drive sleds in the lower bay. I've used them for years with no problems. Then I found a deal on lower drive sleds and replaced the upper drive sleds used in the lower bays just to be proper. I think the P/N for the lower bay sled is 815-1688 and the upper bay is 815-0446 but I'm not going to open up one this machines tonight to verify those numbers. You can probably find lower drive sleds on the LEM Swap list. They usually go for a few dollars more than the upper bay sleds.
