Preparing to install a disk drive or solid-state drive by using the HSM
Complete the following steps before installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or in an
expansion unit:
1. Record the physical location where the new disk drive or solid-state drive can be installed.
a. The physical location has the following form:
U787A.001. AAAXXXX -P3-D4
where
P3-D4
is the
position of the disk drive or solid-state drive in the system unit or an expansion unit. Find the
U787A.001. AAAXXXX location information from the control panel display on the system unit or
expansion unit.
b. In this example,
U787A.001. AAAXXXX -P3-D4
, U787A.001 comes from the feature code (FC) on the
label, AAAXXXX comes from the last 7 digits of the sequence number (SN or SEQ) on the label,
and P3–D4 is the slot where you are installing the disk drive or solid-state drive.
c.
If you cannot find the location information from the control panel, find the feature code (FC) and
sequence number (SN or SEQ) on the label that is shown on the front of the system unit or an
expansion unit, as shown in Figure 9. In the example,
U5074.001. AAAXXXX -DB3-D32
, you would
install a disk drive or solid-state drive in the expansion unit with type 5074, model 001, sequence
number
AAAXXXX , and disk drive or solid-state drive position DB3–D32.
2.
Sign on to service level authority.
3. Type
strsst
in the command line of the IBM i session and then press Enter.
4.
Type your service tools user ID and service tools password in the Start Service Tools Sign On

5. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display, and then press Enter.
6. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display, and then press Enter.
7. If the slot you want to use contains a disk drive filler, do not remove the disk drive filler yet.
8. Select Device Concurrent Maintenance from the Hardware Service Manager display, and then press
Enter.
The Device Concurrent Maintenance is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
