3.6 Installing a SAS hard disk drive
The blade server has one connector on the system board for installing an optional SFF SAS
hard disk drive.
Depending on the blade server model, a SAS hard disk drive might already be installed.
The following illustration shows how to install a SAS hard disk drive.
Figure 3-5. Installing a SAS hard disk drive
Note:
Do not install a SAS hard disk drive in the SAS hard drive connector (SAS ID 0) if you
intend to also install an optional standard-form-factor expansion card. The standard-form-
factor expansion card occupies the same area as the hard disk drive.
To install a SAS hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “ Installation guidelines ” on
page 13 .
2. If the blade server is installed in a Blade Chassis, remove it (see Removing the blade
server from the Blade Chassis on page 15 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see Opening the blade server cover on page 16 for
instructions).
5. Locate SAS connector 0 (J136).
Attention:
Do not press on the top of the hard disk drive. Pressing on the top might damage the
drive.
6. Place the hard disk drive into the tray with the connector pins towards the rear of the
blade server.
