Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive:
v
The server supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch, SAS/SATA hot-swap hard disk
drives or up to eight 3.5-inch, SAS/SATA hot-swap hard disk drives in the
standard hot-swap bays depending on your model.
Note:
– SAS expander card does not support 3 GB RAID adapters.
– When using ServeRAID adapter M1015 to support more than sixteen 2.5-inch
hard disk drives, the maximum number of RAID supported drives is 16. All the
other drives will remain JBOD (the drives are presented to the operating
system without a RAID configuration).
– If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID adapter, you
might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install drives. See the
ServeRAID adapter documentation for additional information about RAID
operation and complete instructions for using the ServeRAID adapter.
v
The hot-swap drives are arranged horizontally in the standard hard disk drive
cage.
v On models with 2.5-inch hard disk drives, the drive numbers are 0 through 7
(right to left). 8 through 15 (right to left). 16 through 23 (right to left). When you
install hard disk drives, start with drive 0.
v
On models with four 3.5-inch hard disk drives, the drive numbers are 0 through 3
(left to right). On models with eight 3.5-inch hard disk drives, hard disk drive cage
for drive 4 through 7 (left to right) is added.
v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/
servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ .
v
Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v
Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v See the documentation for the ServeRAID adapter for instructions for installing a
hard disk drive.
Note: For proper cooling, do not install any card in the slot next in sequence to
a ServeRAID adapter with battery backup module (for example, if a ServeRAID
adapter with battery backup module is installed in slot 2, do not install any card
in slot 3).
v
All hot-swap drives in the server must have the same throughput speed rating;
using drives with different speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the
speed of the slowest drive.
v
To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are
installing them in a rack configuration, install the server in the rack before you
install the hard disk drives.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays. However, you must turn off the server when you perform any steps
that involve installing or removing cables.
v
The drive ID of each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hard disk drive
cage.
