The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information
that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see
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 chapter.
• As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB format drives in the same
RAID array because it may lead to potential performance issues.
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are 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 hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or
SATA ID for that device.
• The hot-swap server models support up to twenty-six 2.5-inch or fourteen 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or
SATA hard disk drives.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all
bays and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or a PCI Express adapter,
save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the event that
you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/
To install a hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
Note:
If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the bay 0 (upper-left).
Step 1.
Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 297.
Step 2.
Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay. Keep the filler panel in a safe place.
Step 3.
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.
Step 4.
Install the hard disk drive in the drive bay:
a.
Make sure that the tray handle is in the open (unlocked) position.
b.
Align the drive with the guide rails in the bay.
