Learn about the steps you must complete before you install a disk drive in the system with the system
power turned off.
To prepare the system to install a disk drive, complete the following steps:
1.
Ensure that the software that is required to support the feature is installed on your system. For
information about software prerequisites, see the IBM Prerequisite website (http://www-
912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf). If the required system firmware, software, or fix packs are not
installed on your system, go to the Fix Central website (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/) to
download and install them before you continue.
2.
Determine the slot in which you want to install a disk drive or an SSD. The disk drive and SSD slots
are in the front of a system. More SSD slots are also available in an expanded function system.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 on page 3 show the disk drive and solid-state drive locations and service
indicators. Service indicators are located above the latch handle on the disk drives.
