To install a 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit:

Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, refer to the following Web site and search for ESD: http://www.ibm.com

1.Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 50 and in “Safety information” on page 127

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover and bezel” on page 53).

3.Refer to the documentation that comes with the option to assemble the hot-swap expansion option.

4.Align the hot-swap expansion option with the empty slot at the rear of the optional hard disk drive cage, adjacent to the standard hot-swap hard disk drive backplane.

5.Slide the hot-swap expansion option down into the guides on the slot at the rear of the optional hard disk drive cage, and secure it to the server with the blue slide latch located on top of the optional hard disk drive cage.

6.Refer to the documentation that comes with the option to complete the installation of the option.

7.Install additional internal hot-swap hard disk drives in the optional hard disk drive cage (see “Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive” on page 62), and connect the drives to the optional hot-swap backplane. You can connect a maximum of three hot-swap hard disk drives to the optional hot-swap backplane.
