Your server contains hardware that lets you replace a failed hard disk drive without
turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to operate
your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are
known as hot-swappable drives. They are also referred to as hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray
attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with the hot-swap drives.

Your server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive and a
preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive.
Bays A and B come without a device installed. These bays are for 5.25-inch,
half-high, removable-media drives, such as tape backup drives. Bays A and B
can be combined into a single full-high bay.
Your server supports only one diskette drive.
Note: The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are both protected by having
bays A and B covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the
filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not
replace it with another.
If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in one of the non-hot-swap
bays (bays A and B), you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the
converter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.
Your server supports six slim (1-inch) or three half-high (1.6-inch), 3.5-inch
hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays.
The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the
printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane supports up to six hard
disk drives.
The diskette drive uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. For optimum use,
format 1 MB diskettes to 720 KB and format 2 MB diskettes to 1.44 MB.
