Installing a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive
Some server models come with simple-swap SATA hard disk drives that are
accessible from the front of the server. You must turn off the server before installing
simple-swap drives in the server. Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk
drive, read the following information:
v
You can only install four simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server.
v The sequence for installing the hard disk drives is to install the drives starting
from the bottom bay (bay 7) and go up to the top bay (bay 4).
To install a simple-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 22.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords.
3. Unlock the side cover.
4. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 26.
5. Place your finger on the depression area on the left side of the bezel door and
rotate it away from the server. After you rotate the bezel beyond 90°, pull the
bezel off the server and set it aside.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
7. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay (the connector end of
the drive goes in first).
8. Press the drive assembly loops toward each other; then, carefully slide the drive
assembly into the drive bay until it stops and release the loops.
Note: Do not release the loops on the drive assembly until it is completely
seated.
