Replacing a simple-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to install a simple-swap hard disk drive.
About this task
You must turn off the server before installing simple-swap drives in the server.
Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following
information. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/
systems/info/x86servers/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 As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB
format drives in the same RAID array because it may lead to potential
performance issues.
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 SATA device,
be sure to set the SATA ID for that device.
v The simple-swap server models support up to sixteen 2.5-inch or eight 3.5-inch
simple-swap SATA hard disk drives. Do not install hot-swap drives into a
simple-swap server model, it is not supported.
v You can install one 2.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in bay 0 in the
server. Do not install hot-swap drives into a simple-swap server model, it is not
supported.
v The simple-swap server models are available only in non-RAID configurations.
v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When
you install a drive or a PCI Express adapter, save the EMC shield and filler
panel from the bay or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the event that you later
remove the device.
