Installing a non-hot-swap SATA hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7
Some server models come with non-hot-swap SATA hard disk drives. Before you
install a non-hot-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following information:
v Read the documentation that comes with the drive for cabling instructions.
v Route the cable before you install non-hot-swap drives. Do not block the airflow
from the fans.
v You can install four non-hot-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server.
v Install the drives in ascending order by bay number.
Attention: Disconnect all power from the server before removing or installing a
non-hot-swap hard disk drive.
To install a non-hot-swap SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 7.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords.
3. Unlock the side cover (the bezel will not disengage from the server if the cover
is locked).
4. Remove the side cover and lower bezel (see “Removing the side cover” on
page 10 and “Removing the two-piece bezel” on page 11).
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
6. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay (the connector end of
the drive goes in first).
