v You must install either all SAS hot-swap hard disk drives or all SATA hot-swap
hard disk drives in the server. Do not use both SAS and SATA drives in the
same server.
v Install drives in the following sequence:
– For server models that support four hard disk drives, install the drives
starting from the top bay to the bottom bay (bay 4, 5, 6, and then 7).
– For server models that support eight hard disk drives, install the drives
starting from left to right (bay 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and then 11).
v
Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
The
server hot-swap bays are connected to a SAS/SATA hard disk drive backplane.
This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit
board behind these bays.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the
power on.
To install a hot-swap SAS or 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. Unlock the side cover.
3. Remove the lower bezel (see “Removing the two-piece bezel” on page 11).
4. 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.
5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the drive tray handle is open.
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
