Installing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive
Use this information to install a 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drive.
Before installing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, read the following information:
• Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
• To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a
drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay.
To install a 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Step 1. Read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 101.
Step 2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see “Removing a
compute node from a chassis” on page 104 for instructions).
Step 3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node
with the bezel pointing toward you.
Step 4. Remove the cover (see “Removing the compute node cover” on page 113).
Step 5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the disk drive to any unpainted metal surface on
the server; then, remove the disk drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Step 6. Align the drive with the guide rails in the bay; then, carefully slide the drive assembly into the drive
bay until the drive snaps into place.
