Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Note: If your server has only one hot-swap hard disk drive, install it in the left or upper-left drive bay.
Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the server cover is in place
and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.
1. Read the safety information in “Important Safety Information” on page 1 and “Guidelines for trained
service technicians” on page 115
.
2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes
without either a drive or ller panel installed in each bay.
3. Remove the ller panel from the empty drive bay if necessary.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server.
Then, remove the drive from the static-protective package and place it on a static-protective surface.
5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the front of the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly 3 with the guide rails in the bay.
