Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive. For
a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/
serverproven/compat/us/.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
v Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
v Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to
set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA
device, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
v The server supports up to eight 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard
disk drives.
v You cannot mix SAS and SATA hard disk drives in the same server.
v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI and PCI Express slots covered or
occupied. When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express adapter, save the EMC
shield and filler panel from the bay or PCI or PCI Express adapter slot cover in
the event that you later remove the device.
v For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
To install a 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, complete the following
steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 167.
2. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay.
3. 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.
4. Install the hard disk drive in the drive bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is in the open (unlocked) position.
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
