IBM 8490 Server User Manual


 
To install a simple-swap 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).
7. Pull the loops of the drive assembly toward each other; then, carefully slide the
drive assembly into the drive bay until it stops and release the loops.
Note: Do not release the loops on the drive assembly until it is completely
seated.
If
you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 28.
