Removing or installing internal drives
This section provides instructions on how to remove or install internal drives for the server. See “Features and specifications” on page 11 for information about the types of internal drives that the server supports and see “Locating server components” on page 32 for the locations of the drive bays in the server.
When installing an internal drive, be sure to consider the following information:
•Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that came with the drive.
•Note the type and size of the drive and select the appropriate drive bay to install the drive.
•Check the instructions that came with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS device, be sure to set the SAS ID for that device.
•The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays and PCI card slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or a PCI card, save the EMC shield or filler panel from the drive bay or save the PCI card slot cover in the event that you later remove the device. An unoccupied drive bay or PCI card slot without cover, shield, filler, or any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage.
