5 Optional components
This section describes how to install components into the server that are not factory-installed. If you
have additional components to install, be sure to install the additional components before installing
the server into your rack or pedestal configuration. Most servers are pre-configured with all
components installed before shipping from the HP factory.
Externally accessible components:
•
SAS hard drives
•
Power supplies
Internal components:
•
Memory DIMMs
•
Processors
•
PCIe cards
•
SAS cache module and super capacitor pack
WARNING!
Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from
the server prior to removing or installing server hardware (unless you are removing or installing a
hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component). Voltage is present at various locations within the
server whenever an AC power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main
power switch is turned off. Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage
to the equipment.
Installing a hot-pluggable SAS hard drive
The front of the server has eight hot-plug SAS hard drive slots. Slots without hard drives installed
have slot fillers installed for cooling purposes.
IMPORTANT:
SAS hard drives are loaded in sequence, starting with the top left slot and
proceeding down filling slots 1, 2, 3, 4 in order; and then fill the right side top to bottom 5, 6, 7,
8. See
.
Save the hard drive filler for future use. For airflow purposes, place hard drive fillers in slots that
do not contain hard drives.

To remove the hard drive filler, squeeze the tab and then pull out the filler.
