Installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D with the system or logical
partition power turned off
Learn how to install a disk drive or solid-state drive (SSD) in a system or logical partition that controls
the drive location with the power turned off.
If you are servicing a failing part, see the service procedures for “Replacing a disk drive or solid-state
drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D with the system or logical
partition power turned off” on page 81.
Attention:
Before installing or replacing a feature, ensure that the software required to support the feature is
installed on the system. For information about software prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite website
(www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf). If the required software is not installed, go to Fix Central
(www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral) to download it, and install it before continuing.
If you are installing solid-state drives, review the configuration rules and then return here. For more
information, see “Solid-state drive configuration rules for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B,
8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D” on page 1.

Preparing to install a disk drive or solid-state drive
Complete the following steps before installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or in an
expansion unit:
1.
Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see “Before you begin” on page 137.
2.
Identify the system for performing the installation or upgrading by turning on the system identify
(blue) LED. For instructions, see Control panel LEDs and Enabling enclosure indicators.
3.
Determine the next available disk drive or solid-state drive position in the system or an expansion
unit. For information, see “Disk drive locations and service indicators for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system” on page 97.
Note:
When you have a system with an expansion unit, fill the slot positions in the system unit first.
However, you can choose a different disk drive or solid-state drive placement depending on your
data protection strategy.
