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 To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10
minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
v See the Installation and User's Guide for additional information.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive (based on your model), complete the following
steps.
