Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The 3.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support either two SAS 3.5-inch hard
disk drives or two SATA 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The 2.5-inch drive hot-swap
server models support four 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives

.
The installation procedure is the same for any of these drives. The illustrations in
this procedure show 3.5-inch SAS drives.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, install it in the left or upper-left drive
bay.
Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the
cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 19.
2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.
3. Remove the filler
3
panel from the bay.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay.
4. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the drive handle
2
is open (that is, perpendicular to the
front of the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly
1
with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
