The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other information that you
must consider when installing a drive:
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• Check the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers
on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA device, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
• Optional external tape drives and DVD-ROM drives are examples of removable-media drives. You can
install removable-media drives only in bays 1 and 2 on models with eight 3.5-inch, eight, sixteen,
twenty-four, and thirty-two 2.5-inch hard disk drives.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler
panel from the bay or the PCI adapter slot cover in the event that you later remove the drive or adapter.
• For a complete list of supported options for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
Removing a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to remove a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive.
Read the safety information in “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 35.
Attention:
Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on
might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the
server with the power on.
To remove a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Step 1.
Unlock the left-side cover.
Note:
You must unlock the left-side cover to open or remove the bezel. When you lock the left-side
cover, it locks both the cover and the bezel.
Step 2.
Open the bezel (see “Opening the bezel media door” on page 181).
Step 3.
Press down on the release latch to open the drive handle; then, pull the drive out of the drive bay.
