Installing a Drive in a Hot-Swap Bay
Installing a Drive in a Hot-Swap Bay
The bays on the right front of the server support hot-swap
drives only.
Note:
You do not have to turn off the server to install
hot-swap drives in these bays. However, you must
turn off the server when performing any steps that
involve installing or removing cables.
Before you begin:
Refer to the following illustration while you perform the
steps in this procedure.
1 Filler panel
2 Hot-swap hard disk drive
3 Drive tray handle (open position)
To install a drive in a hot-swap bay:
- Unlock and open the server door (see
'Preparing to Install Options').
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate
the server for more than two minutes without either a
drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
- Remove the filler panel(s) -1- from one of the empty
hot-swap bays by inserting the finger into the
depression at the left side of the filler panel and
pulling it away from the server.
- Install the hard disk drive -2- in the hot-swap bay:
- Ensure the tray handle -3- is open (that is,
perpendicular to the drive).
- Align the drive/tray assembly so that it engages
the guide rails in the bay.
- Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until
the drive connects to the backplane.
- Push the tray handle to the right until it locks.
- Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify
that the hard disk drives are operating properly.
- Close and lock the server door.
Note:
Because the server has a RAID controller, you
must reconfigure the disk arrays after installing
hard disk drives. Record the configuration
information.
