Installing the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option
Notes:
1. The 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit might contain some components
that you will not need for this procedure. For information about the contents of
this option kit, see the documentation that comes with the option kit.
2. The 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option does not support use of a
SCSI repeater card.
Complete the following steps to install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion
option:
1. Review the information in “Installation guidelines” on page 45, “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 46, and “Safety information” on page 169.
2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables
(“Turning off the server” on page 9); then, remove the server cover (see
“Removing the server left-side cover and bezel (tower model)” on page 55 or
“Removing the server top cover and bezel (rack configuration)” on page 57).
3. If necessary, remove the air-baffle assembly, adapter-support bracket,
adapters, and plastic dividers. See “Removing and installing the
adapter-support bracket” on page 58 and “Working with adapters” on page 60
for additional information.
Attention: The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and

you install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option, save the filler
panels from the bay, in case you later remove the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap
Expansion option and do not replace it with another device.
4. Remove the two filler panels from the removable-media bay opening. Store the
filler panels for future use.
5. Remove the custom metal slide rails and screws that are inside the 5.25-inch
removable-media drive bays. Store the slide rails and screws for future use.
