screw holes in the drive with the screw holes in the server chassis.
b. Use a screwdriver to insert the screw into the drive and secure it to the server
chassis.
Note: You might have to hold the drive up and in place to carefully align the
drive with the screw holes in the chassis.

signal and power cables clear of the path of the fans behind the drive bay.

Installing a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive
Complete the following steps to install or replace a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive:
Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 3.
Notes:
1. A hard disk drive is replaced in the same manner as a new hard disk drive is
installed, but you must remove the old hard disk drive first.
2. If your server has a ServeRAID adapter and a SCSI backplane installed, you can
hot-swap SCSI drives. For more information about hot-swapping drives, see the
documentation provided with the ServeRAID adapter and the User’s Reference
on the IBM Documentation CD.
