Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

The 3.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support either two SAS 3.5-inch hard disk drives or two SATA 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The 2.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support four 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives 1.

The installation procedure is the same for any of these drives. The illustrations in this procedure show 3.5-inch SAS drives.

To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.

Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, install it in the left or upper-left drive bay.

Attention: 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.

1.Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 19.

2.Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.

3.Remove the filler 3 panel from the bay.

Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay.

4.Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:

a.Make sure that the drive handle 2 is open (that is, perpendicular to the front of the drive).

b.Align the drive assembly 1 with the guide rails in the bay.

c.Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
