Preinstallation steps (all bays)
Before you install drives in the server, verify that you have all the cables and other
equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You might also
need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only
during the initial installation of an option.
1. Read “Safety information” on page 105 and the documentation that comes with
your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to set
the SCSI ID for that device.
Installing a drive in bay 2 or 4
Note: The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are both protected by having the
bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel and
EMC shield from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace
it with another.
Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2 or 4:
1. Read the information in “Preinstallation steps (all bays)”.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect external cables and
power cords; then, remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page
40 for details).
3. Remove the support bracket assembly and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector (SYSFA3) on the system board. See “Removing the support bracket
