Replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to replace a hot-swap hard disk drive.
The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information
that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see
http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this chapter.
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
• Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to set any switches or
jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or
SATA ID for that device.
• You can install up to to eight 2.5-inch or four 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives in the server.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express
adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or PCI or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the
event that you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/
Read the safety information in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 33.
