v
The
hot-swap
bays
are
arranged
vertically
in
the
standard
hard
disk
drive
cage;
the
bay
numbers
are
0
through
7
(from
top
to
bottom)
on
models
with
eight
hard
disk
drives
and
0

For
a
list
of
supported

v
Inspect
the
drive
tray
for
signs
of
damage.
v
Make
sure
that
the
drive
is
correctly
installed
in
the
tray.
v
See
the
documentation
for
the
ServeRAID-8k,
ServeRAID-8s,
and
the
optional
ServeRAID-10is
SAS
controllers
for
instructions
for
installing
a
hard
disk
drive.
v
All
hot-swap
drives
in
the
server
must
have
the
same
throughput
speed
rating;
using
drives
with
different
speed
ratings
might
cause
all
drives
to
operate
at
the
throughput
speed
of
the
slowest
drive.
v
To
minimize
the
possibility
of
damage
to
the
hard
disk
drives
when
you
are
installing
them
in
a
rack
configuration,
install
the
server
in
the
rack
before
you
install
the
hard
disk
drives.
v
You
do
not
have
to
turn
off
the
server
to
install
hot-swap
drives
in
the
hot-swap
drive
bays.
However,
you
must
turn
off
the
server
when
you
perform
any
steps
that
involve
installing
or
removing
cables.
v
Do
not
mix
SAS
and
SATA
drives
in
the
same
array.
v
The
drive
ID
of
each
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
is
printed
on
the
label
on
the
side
of
the
drive
cage.
The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
install
a
