This section provides instructions on how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
This section applies only to server models that support hot-swap hard disk drives.
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 drive bay.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, do the following:
Notes:
1. You do not have to turn off the server for the installation of a hot-swap hard
disk drive.
2. The cables come with the SATA hard disk drive option kit will not be used in
this server.
1. Press the blue latch to open the hard disk drive tray (1) and rotate the handle
of the hard disk drive tray assembly to the open position (2). Then, grasp the
handle and pull the hard disk drive tray assembly out of the bay (3).
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the hard disk drive from
the package.
3. Install the hard disk drive into the tray so that the screw holes in the hot-swap
hard disk drive are aligned with the corresponding holes in the drive tray
(1). Then, install the four screws to secure the hard disk drive in the tray
(2).
Note: When you are installing a hard disk drive option, you need to first
remove the installed retention box from the tray, and then install the
hard disk drive into the tray.
