Your server supports six 1-inch (26 mm) slim or three 1.6-inch (42 mm) half-high, 3.5-
inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays.
Note:
Refer to the User’s Reference on the IBM Netfinity Documentation CD for
information on installing devices in the non-hot-swap bays.
Refer to the following illustration to install a hot-swap drive.
Note:
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To install a drive in a hot-swap drive bay:
Attention:
•
When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling
these devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD:
http://www.ibm.com/
•
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two
minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
1. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.
Note:
If you are installing a half-high hard disk drive, you will need to remove
two adjacent filler panels. The two filler panels should be from either the
top pair of bays, the middle pair of bays, or the bottom pair of bays.
2. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay.
3. If you installed a half-high hard disk drive, install a slim filler in the gap above the
drive. The slim filler is stored on the empty tray of the filler panel you removed.
4. Check the LEDs on the hard disk drives to verify that the hard disk drives are
operating properly.
Note:
If your server has a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) adapter
installed, refer to the information provided with the RAID adapter for
information about adding a drive.
