Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
Refer to the following illustration when installing a hot-swap hard disk drive.
Note:
You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in these bays.
To install a drive in a hot-swap bay:
1. Review “Before you begin” on page 66.
2. Unlock and open the server front door, if you are installing a drive in a tower
model.
3. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the server.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more
than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
4. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. If there is a small gap above or below the drive, separate the slim filler from
the filler panel and insert it into the gap.
Note: A drive placement guide is located on the inside edge of the bezel.
The drive placement guide indicates the placement for slim-high and
half-high drives. The guide also shows the SCSI ID assigned to the
drive.
b. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
c. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
d. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
e. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
f. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to verify that the hard disk drive is
operating properly.
