Installing a hard disk drive
The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that your server supports
and other information that you must consider when installing hard disk drives:
v
Your server supports six 1-inch (26 mm) slim 3.5-inch low-voltage differential
(LVD) hard disk drives.
v
All hot-swap drives being used in the server should have the same throughput
speed rating. Mixing hard drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives
to operate at the lower throughput speed.
v
The SCSI ID assigned to each bay is printed on the bezel.
The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
Filler panel
Drive-tray assembly
Drive handle
Complete the following steps to install a hard disk drive in your server.
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.
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 7.
2. Remove the filler panel.
3. Place the drive handle in the open position and slide the drive into the bay.
4. Close the drive handle.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
6. Go to “Completing the installation” on page 20.
