Intel 5800/120Ld Hard Disk Drives, Installing or Swapping a Hard Disk Drive in a Hot-Swap Bay

Hard Disk Drives

Your system supports a variety of SCSI hard disk drives installed in the system’s hard disk drive bay. Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved devices. The SCSI hard disk drive bay in your system is one of two types: a standard SCSI disk drive bay or a hot-swap SCSI disk drive bay. Refer to Figure 4-13 to identify the type of hard disk drive bay in your system. In each example the internal hard disk drives are located in the SCSI disk drive bays.

If you are adding or removing a SCSI hard disk device, consider the following:

!CAUTION

Do not hot swap a non-LVD-disk-drive into a LVD-disk-drive only system for it may cause data corruption. The only way a non-LVD-disk-drive can be used with an all LVD-disk-drive system is by first powering down the system, installing the non-LVD-disk-drive, and then powering the system back up.

Note: Installing a non-LVD-disk-drive into an all LVD- disk-drive system causes all the drives to operate in the non- LVD mode

Installing or Swapping a Hard Disk Drive in a Hot-Swap Bay

This procedure describes installing a new hard disk drive or swapping out a faulty drive from one of the six hot-swap SCSI disk drive bays. The SCSI drives must use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attachment (SCA) connector. Each drive must be installed in a drive carrier.

Note: To order a disk with a carrier, contact your sales representative or dealer.
