42 HP ProLiant ML310 Generation 3 Server User Guide
Installing hot-plug SCSI hard drives
When adding SCSI hard drives to the server, observe the following general
guidelines:
• Hot-plug hard drives must be Ultra320 SCSI drives for optimum
performance. Mixing these types with other drive standards degrades the
overall performance of the drive subsystem.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do
not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a
component or a blank.
1. Remove the bezel ("Unlocking the bezel" on page 22).
2. Remove the hard drive blank.
