Installing or Removing Internal Drives
Before you begin:
Ÿ
It is not necessary to remove the server from the rack to remove the hard
disk drives.
Ÿ
Read the “Laser Safety Information” on page xiv.
Ÿ
Read “Safety Considerations” on page 4-2 and “Handling Static Sensitive
Devices” on page 4-3.
Ÿ
Read the manual that came with the internal drive for instructions on setting
switches, jumpers, and device terminators.
Ÿ
Use the System Management Services or your operating system to record
the addresses of the existing drives in your server
before beginning this
procedure. You must choose SCSI addresses for the any new drives which
do not conflict with addresses of drives already installed.
Installing an Internal Drive into an Empty Bay
1. Remove the disk drive bay cover by loosening the thumbscrew.
2. Gently pull the right side of the drive cover towards you until you can remove the
cover completely from the server.
3. Determine the location for the drive you want to install. If there is a drive already
installed in that bay, refer to “Removing an Internal Drive” on page 4-31 to
remove the existing drive before installing the new drive.
4. Touch the static-protective package to any unpainted metal surface on the
server, then remove the drive from the package.
