The following figure shows the locations of the four 3.5" hot-swap hard disk drive
bays in the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies.
The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when installing a drive:
v Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v Check the instructions that come with the drive to see 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 Optional external tape drives, DVD-ROM drive are examples of
removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives only in bays 1
and 2.
v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you
install a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay
or the PCI adapter slot cover in the event that you later remove the drive or
adapter.
v For a complete list of supported options for the server, see http://
