Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
This procedure applies only to server models that have hot-swap hard disk drives.
Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:
v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard
disk drives; the two types cannot be combined.
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
Note: If you install the maximum number of hot-swap hard disk drives (four),
remove the EMC shield that is attached inside the lower bezel.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
2. Make sure that the drive tray handle is in the open position.
3. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay; then, carefully slide the
drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive stops.
4. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
