v
Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v If the server has an optional RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes
with the adapter for instructions for installing a hard disk drive.
v
All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating;
mixing speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput
speed.
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
installing 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 performing any steps
that involve installing or removing cables.
v
You can install three additional hot-swap hard disk drives in the server after you
install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit. These drives are in the
optional hard disk drive cage. Connect the cable to J58 SCSI channel A on the
system board. See the instructions that come with this option for information.
v
Some filler panels come with a slim filler.
v
The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the bezel.
The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.

Complete the following steps to install a hot-swap hard disk drive:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii, and “Installation guidelines”
on page 7.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.
3. Make sure that the tray handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the
hot-swap bay.
Notes:
1. When you turn on the server, check the hard disk drive status LEDs to verify
that the hard disk drive is operating properly.
If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive
is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is
flashing, the drive is being accessed.
2. If the server will be configured for RAID operation using the integrated SCSI
controller with RAID capabilities or an optional ServeRAID
™
controller, you must
configure the disk arrays before installing the operating system. See the
ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional
information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using
ServeRAID Manager.
