To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 35.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.
3. Make sure that the drive handle is open; then, slide the hard disk drive into the
hot-swap bay.
4. Push the drive handle in until it latches.
Notes:
1. When you turn on the server, check the hard disk drive status LEDs to verify
that the hard disk drive is operating correctly.
If the amber hard disk drive status LED is lit continuously, that drive is faulty
and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the
drive is being accessed.
2. If the server is configured for RAID operation through an optional ServeRAID
adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install hard
disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support
CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions
for using ServeRAID Manager.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 74.
Installing a memory module
Attention: Do not mix UDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server.
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
your server supports and other information that you must consider when you install
DIMMs.
