Installing A Drive On Module In The 8001-12C System - IBM Power System S821LC Installing

Installing a drive on module in the 8001-12C system

Learn how to install a drive on module (DOM) in the IBM Power System S821LC (8001-12C) system.
Before you begin
Power off the system and place it in the service position. For instructions, see "Preparing the 8001-12C or
8005-12N system to remove and replace internal parts" on page 85.
About this task
You can plug SATA drive on module (DOM) drives directly into the system backplane. Up to two SATA
DOM drives can be installed. Use the two orange SATA connectors.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to
an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging
your hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when
using or working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of
5 seconds.
2. Install the DOM into the system backplane, in positions (A), as shown in Figure 12 on page 15.
Depending on the DOM model, you may also have to plug in a small power cord for the DOM.
Ensure you plug the connectors in properly.
