Removing and replacing consumable parts and Tier 1 CRUs
Replacement of consumable parts and Tier 1 CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM
installs a consumable part or Tier 1 CRU at your request, you will be charged for
the installation.
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Removing a hot-swap hard disk drive
Attention: 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 bay.
To remove a hard disk drive from a hot-swap bay, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii, “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 135, and “Installation guidelines” on page 133.
2. Press on the release latch on the drive front.
3. Rotate the handle on the drive to the open position.
4. Pull the hot-swap drive assembly out of the bay approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
Wait approximately 45 seconds while the drive spins down before you remove
the drive assembly completely from the bay.
5. If you are instructed to return the hot-swap drive, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
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 drive. For a list of
supported 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 The server supports up to twelve 3.5-inch or twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-swap
SAS/SATA hard disk drives. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating.
Using hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to operate
at the throughput speed of the slowest drive.
Important: Do not install a SCSI hard disk drive in this server.
