Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

Before installing a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:

vThe hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard disk drives; do not mix SAS and SATA drives.

vInspect the drive tray for signs of damage.

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

vYou do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays.

vIf you want to install the maximum number of hot-swap drives (eight), you will need to order the 4-drive backplane option kit.

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

1.Unlock the side cover.

2.Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 78).

3.Remove the bezel (see “Removing the bezel” on page 76).

4.Remove the EMC shield1.

5.Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive 2 to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.

6.Make sure that the drive tray handle 4 is in the open position.

7.Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay 3; then, carefully slide the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive snaps into place.

8. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
