Installing System Components
Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System
Setup program. See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 29. To boot the system from a hard drive
or drive array, the drive(s) must be connected to the appropriate controller:
•
For systems using the integrated hard-drive controller, the master drive (drive 0) must be connected to
the SATA_PORT_0 connector on the system board. To identify system board connectors, see
Figure 6-2.
•
For systems with a SAS controller installed, the hard drive must be connected to the SAS controller
card. See the documentation that accompanied the controller card.
•
To boot from a SAS RAID array, the drive must be connected to the RAID controller card. See the
documentation that accompanied the controller card.
Hard Drives
Your system contains up to two non-hot-pluggable SATA or SAS hard drives. If your system contains SAS
hard drives, they must be connected to a SAS controller card. The cables for hard drive 1 are routed
through a cable clamp mounted to the chassis.
Removing a Hard Drive
The procedures for removing and installing SATA or SAS hard drives are the same.
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your
Product Information Guide
for
complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer and protecting against electrostatic
discharge.
1
Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 46.
2
If applicable, remove the optical drive.
Remove the optical drive if you are removing hard drive 0. See "Removing the Optical Drive" on
page 50.
3
Disconnect the power and interface cables from the hard drive.
The interface cables for SATA hard drives are connected to the system board. See Figure 6-2 for the
location of the system board connectors.
The interface cables for SAS hard drives are connected to a controller card.
4
Pull up on the plunger that secures the hard-drive carrier to the chassis. See Figure 3-7.
5
Slide the hard-drive carrier backward and lift the carrier out of the chassis.
