Installing or Removing Drives in Bays 1 through 5 (Hard Disk Drives)
This section gives the procedure for installing a hard disk drive. If you want to
remove a drive, reverse the following steps.
Note: To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are
installing a hard disk drive in a rack model, install the rack model in the rack
before installing the hard disk drives.
Attention: To avoid damage to a hard disk drive,
do not remove the drive from
the hot-swap bay until it has had time to spin down (approximately 30 seconds).
Handle the drive gently.
Before you begin
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 41 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices”
on page 42.
Read “Termination Requirements” on page 59
Your Netfinity 5000 server contains hardware that lets you replace a hard disk drive
without turning off the Netfinity 5000 server. These drives are known as
hot-swappable or hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray
attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap drives come with the hot-swap-drive tray attached.
