Your server supports four 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch SCSI hard disk drives in the hard disk drive bays (4, 5, 6, and 7). You can install four non-hot-swap hard disk drives in the models that have the standard non-hot-swap drive cage. You can install three hot-swap hard disk drives and one non-hot-swap hard disk drive in the models that come with the hot-swap drive cage. Both the non-hot- swap and hot-swap drive cages hold a maximum of three hard disk drives. The drive cages comprise bays 5, 6, and 7.

•Bay 2 comes without a device installed. This bay is for a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive.

•Bay 4 is for a 3.5-inch, slim, removable-media drive or SCSI hard disk drive.

Note: The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are both protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another.

Preinstallation steps (all bays)

Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any 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” on page v, “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 31, 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.
