1. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
See “ESD Handling Procedure” on page 22.
2. Prepare the server to install options.
See “Preparing the Server to Install Options” on page 22.
Note – You do not need to remove the server’s cover to install a hard drive.
3. Unpack the hard disk drive and place it on an antistatic mat.
4. Install the hardware.
a. Refer to
TABLE 2-5 and verify that your server will support the hard disk
drive you intend to install.

install the hard drive in slot HDD2.

location into which you intend to install the hard drive.
See “Filler Panel Removal and Installation” on page 19.
