Complete the following steps to install a hot-swap hard disk drive:
1. Read “Installation guidelines” on page 23 and the safety information beginning
at “Safety information” on page 107.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation, the installed drive may not
be recognized and reconfigured by RAID until the server is turned off and
turned back on.
3. Unlock the side cover.
4. Slide the drive-bay lock bar to the left to access the drive bays.
5. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the server.
6. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on
a static-protective surface.
7. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently slide the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive stops.

Note: If your server is configured for RAID operation using an optional
ServeRAID controller, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays
after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on
the
IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID
operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager.
8. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now.
