v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard
disk drives; do not mix SAS and SATA drives.
v The sequence for installing the hard disk drives is to install the drives starting
from the top bay (bay 4) and go down to the bottom bay (bay 11).
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v All hot-swap drives must have the same throughput speed rating; mixing speed
ratings might cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput speed.
v The drive ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the bezel.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays.
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 See the documentation for your RAID controller for instructions for installing a
hard disk drive.
v For TD100 (Machine Types 6398, 6399, 6419, 6429), if you want to install the
maximum number (eight) of hot-swap drives, you need the 4-drive backplane
option kit.
v Remove any dust shields from the signal cable connectors before installing the
signal cables.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when
the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the
loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge
wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the
power on.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 20.
2. Remove the bezel and cover. See “Removing the bezel” on page 24 and
“Removing the side cover” on page 25 for instructions.
3. Remove the EMC shield 1 from the bay in which you want to install the drive.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
5. Install the hard disk drive 2 in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the drive tray handle 4 is open.
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
