Installing a SAS/SATA 8 Pac HDD option

Use this information to install a SAS/SATA 8 Pac HDD option.

Before you begin

You can install an IBM System x3500 M4 Hot-swap SAS/SATA 8 Pac HDD option
to add eight additional 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the server. See
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us for a list
of supported optional devices. To order a SAS/SATA 8 Pac HDD option, contact
your IBM sales representative or IBM reseller.

Note:

The 8 pac HDD option including structural parts and Tier 1 parts.

Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 34.

If you are replacing a component or installing an optional device in the server, you
need to turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.

About this task

To install a SAS/SATA 8 Pac HDD option, complete the following steps.

Procedure

1.

Remove the bezel (see “Removing the bezel” on page 206).

2.

Remove the left side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on page 39).

3.

Remove the fillers if necessary.

4.

Install the 2.5-inch hard disk drive cage if necessary.

a.

Align the 2.5-inch hard disk drive cage with the chassis to the area
highlighted in grey as follows and install it in the server.

Note:

If you are upgrading the hard disk drive bays from 16 to 24 and the

2.5-inch hard disk drive cage is already installed, keep the new 2.5-inch
hard disk drive cage comes with the option in a safe place for potential
future use.
