Chapter 4 Installing Hardware Options

Working with Hard Disk Drives

Caution To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open and close the clips gently.

b.Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the DIMM edges with the slots at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. Be sure that the retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector.

c.If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM, and then reinsert the DIMM.

Step 5 If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, go to the “Completing the Installation” section on page 4-15.

Working with Hard Disk Drives

This section describes how to install a hard disk drive in the Wide Area Application Engine (WAE). The WAE-512 requires simple-swap Serial Advanced Technology Attachment II (SATA) hard disk drives, and the WAE-612 accepts Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives or hot-swap SATA hard disk drives.

Consider the following information when installing a hard disk drive:

Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.

In the WAE-512 and WAE-612, disk00 belongs in the left drive bay and disk01 belongs in the right drive bay as seen when facing the drive bays.

If you are installing a SAS hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with the drive before installing it.

Note 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.
