Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the
cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 11.
2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.
3. Remove the filler panel 3 from the bay. Store it in a safe place for possible
future use.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay.
4. Open the drive tray handle 2.
5. Gently push the drive assembly 1into the bay until the drive stops.
6. Close the drive tray handle.
7. Check the hard disk drive status LED to make sure that the hard disk drive is
operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit
continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk
drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 22.
Installing an adapter
The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and
other information that you must consider when you install an adapter:
v Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section. If you have to change
switch settings or jumper settings on the adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
v The adapter slots are on the riser-card assembly. You must first remove the
riser-card assembly to access the adapter slots.
v The two PCI Express slots on the riser-card assembly support PCI Express x8
1.0a adapters.
v You can install one full-height three-quarter-length adapter in expansion slot 1
and one low-profile half-length adapter in expansion slot 2.
Note: When the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in
the server, you can install only a half-length adapter in expansion slot 1.
v If you have installed an optional PCI-X riser-card assembly in the server, you can
install a full-height, three-quarter-length PCI-X 64/133 MHz adapter in the PCI-X
slot on the riser-card assembly.
Note: When the optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed in
the server, you can install only a half-length adapter in the PCI-X slot.
v The optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be installed only in the
dedicated connector on the system board (see “System-board optional-device
connectors” on page 9 for the location of the connector). To install the Remote
Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, refer to the documentation that is included with
the adapter.
v The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI Express
adapters so that you can install PCI Express adapters that do not support
sharing of interrupts.
