Note:
Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of
the drives or over the microprocessor.
11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
12. Replace the frame-support bracket.
13. Replace the side cover. See “Replacing the side cover” on page 59 for details.
14. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and the server.
Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7
If your server is a hot-swap model, you can replace a failed hard disk drive without
turning off the server. Therefore, you can continue to operate your server while a
hard disk drive is removed or installed. To do this, you must install a hot-swap hard
disk drive. If a hot-swap disk drive is connected to an optional hot-swap RAID
controller and if your hot-swap drive becomes defective, the RAID controller can
rebuild the data from that drive onto another hot-swap drive. See the information
that comes with your RAID controller for details.
Each hot-swap drive has a green hard disk drive activity LED and an amber hard
disk drive status LED. When the hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the
controller is accessing the hard disk drive. When this occurs, the SCSI activity LED
on the front of the server is also lit. The hard disk drive activity LED is illustrated
and described in the
User’s Guide
. If the hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit
continuously, that individual drive is faulty and requires replacement. When the hard
disk drive status LED indicates a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive
without turning off the server.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install comes mounted in a hot-swap-drive
tray. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with hot-swap drives.
The hot-swap bays are connected to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the
printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the
hot-swap drives.
The following illustration shows the hot-swap-drive backplane component locations,
as viewed from the front of the server.
