6. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now; otherwise,
replace the hot-swap lock bar.
7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise go to
“Completing the installation” on page 41.
SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives
The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the internal hot-swap drive
bays. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap
lock bar. The following table lists the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives and
backplane that are connected to one channel in hot-swap hard disk drive models. In
the typical configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are
connected to channel B.
Device SCSI ID
Drive bay 9 0
Drive bay 8 1
Drive bay 7 2
Drive bay 6 3
Drive bay 5 4
Drive bay 4 5
Adaptec AIC 7902 controller 7
Hot-swap backplane 8
Installing a simple-swap Serial ATA hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7
Some server models support simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives,
which are easily accessible from the front of the server. Drives are installed starting
at the bottom, in bay 7. Additional drives are then installed in bays 6, 5, and 4.
Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following
information:
v Read the documentation that comes with the drive for cabling instructions.
v
You can install two simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server.
Note: You can install a third and fourth SATA drive if you install an optional
ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter in the server. The optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA
adapter comes with two cables that you can use to cable the third and fourth
SATA drives. In addition, if you install the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter
to add a third and fourth drive, all four SATA drives must then be connected to
the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter instead of to the system board. See “Installing
an adapter” on page 29 and “Cabling an optional SATA adapter” on page 34 for
instructions, or see the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter documentation.
v
Install simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 7, bay 6, bay 5,
and bay 4.
v Bays 4, 5, 6, and 7 are simple-swap bays and do not require cabling.
Complete the following steps to install a simple-swap hard disk drive:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and the “Installation
guidelines” on page 7.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords.
