Replacing the S8500 server
03-300529 Issue 4 January 2008 27
Installing the original hard drive in the replacement S8500 server
For these steps, see Figure 2: Removing and replacing the drive cage (S8500) on page 26.
1. Insert the original hard drive into the drive cage so that the connectors are in the same
direction as the CD-ROM connectors and the screw holes are aligned.
2. Reinsert the 4 screws (2 on each side) to attach the hard drive to the drive cage.
3. Reattach the flat ribbon cable (in 2 places) to the hard drive and CD-ROM drive.
4. Reattach the 2 power cables to the hard drive and CD-ROM drive.
5. Slide the drive cage into place in the server, making sure that it fits securely into the
retaining hooks and finger-tighten the captive screw.
6. Make sure the drive cage is secure and that the cables are not bunched or blocking the fan
unit.
Reusing the Remote Supervisor Adapter
Note:
Note: The RSA is in the S8500 server only.
If the Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) card in the failed server is still good, then you want to
reuse it in the replacement server. Use the following process to switch the RSAs.

CAUTION:
CAUTION: Wear an anti-static wrist ground strap whenever handling components such as
the RSA board of an Avaya S8500 server. Connect the strap to an approved
ground, such as an unpainted metal surface. Also, place the RSA board on an
anti-static mat that is similarly grounded. Do not place the new or the old drive on
a bare surface.
Removing the RSA from the failed S8500 server
To remove the RSA from the failed S8500 server.
1. Remove the cover of the server. See Removing the cover of the S8500 server
on page 23.
2. Remove one side of the ribbon cable from the system-management connector on the RSA.
