Installing a simple-swap hard disk drive
The drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of the server. The ID numbers and the drive
bay numbers are the same. For detailed information, refer to “Front view” on page 15.
Before you install a simple-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, read the following information. For a list of
supported hard disk drives, go to http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that comes
with the drive.
• Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
• Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to set any switches or
jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA device, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID
for that device.
• You can install up to eight 2.5-inch or four 3.5-inch simple-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives in the server.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the EMC shield and
filler from the bay in case you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, go to:
