Guidelines for installing hard drives
•
Install only hard drive models specified for your ProLiant MicroServer. Installing unsupported
hard drives may damage the system by consuming power and generating heat in excess of the
server’s operating tolerance. This condition may result in a loss of system and/or data integrity.
•
If you removed the HDD without plans of installing a new one, you must reinstall the carrier in
the chassis for proper cooling of the system.
To install a hard drive:
1.
Power off the server.
2.
Open the door.
3.
Remove the default HDD module.
○
Press the hard disk carrier latch to release the handle (1).
○
Lift the handle (2).
○
Use the handle to pull the hard disk carrier out of the HDD bay (3).
○
Remove the four mounting screws that secure the HDD module to its carrier and place these
screws to the back side of the panel door as shown in below figure, reuse these screws when
you install the new hard drive. (4).
○
Remove the old HDD module from its carrier (5).
