Installing a 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 installing a hard disk drive:
v
The server supports the following three configurations:
– Configuration 1
- Four 2.5-inch hot-swap SCSI hard disk drives
– Configuration 2
- Two 3.5-inch slim hot-swap SCSI hard disk drives
- One 9.5-mm-high DVD-ROM drive (optional)
– Configuration 3
- Two 3.5-inch non-hot-swap (simple swap) Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk
drives
- One 9.5-mm-high DVD-ROM drive (optional)
v
Both SCSI configuration models of the server come with a hot-swap SCSI
backplane.
v
The SCSI server models support low voltage differential (LVD) hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive is in a tray, which has a green activity LED and an amber
status LED in the upper-right corner. These LEDs are lit if the drive is active and,
in some cases, if the drive fails.
v Each hot-swap drive has a single-connector-attached (SCA) connector, which
connects directly to the hot-swap SCSI backplane. The backplane attaches to
connector J-35 on the system board and controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap
drives.
v
A simple swap hard disk drive does not have a backplane, and it does not have
indicator LEDs. Simple swap hard disk drives have a simple swap connection
design. The simple swap design has a panel-mount connection at the rear of the
hard disk drive cage, which enables the simple swap hard disk drives to easily
connect to both the signal and power connections.
v
Before you install any type of hard disk drive, read the following information:
– Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage before inserting the hard disk drive.
– Read the safety information beginning on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 13.
v If you are installing a hot-swap drive, continue with “Installing a hot-swap hard
disk drive” on page 25. If you are installing a simple swap drive, go to “Installing
a simple swap hard disk drive” on page 26.
