Installing/Swapping a HDD

Ch 1: Hardware

Installing/Swapping a HDD

The HDD Bay door location provides airflow and easy access to the drives and allows easy hot-swapping of drives in and out of these bays without shutting down the server.

By installing a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller board on the I/O baseboard, RAID software, and SCSI hard disk drives in the hot-docking bays, you can easily set up RAID applications.

To remove or hot swap a HDD device follow these steps:

1.Pull down on the front lever (or handle) of the HDD Bay cage and wait approximately 30 seconds until the drive stops spinning completely.

2.After the drive has stopped spinning pull the assembly toward you to fully disengage the drive from the backplane connector.

3.Carefully slide the assembly out of the bay, and place it on an antistatic surface. Proceed to step 4 if you are installing or replacing a HDD.

4.Insert the HDD into a carrier and secure it into position with 4 screws as shown in Figure 12 Mounting the HDD Carrier.

5.Orient the carrier and drive assembly in front of the hot-docking bay guide and make sure that it is placed correctly into the guide rails to avoid damage.

6.Fit the mounting pins, located on each side of the HDD, into the inside grooves of the HDD Bay’s lever.

7.After the mounting pins are seated in the lever grooves pull up on the lever. This will push the HDD into its slot.

8.Firmly press the front of the assembly into the bay until the drive docks with the hot-docking backplane connector
