Replacing a simple-swap hard disk drive

Use this information to install a simple-swap hard disk drive.

You must turn off the server before installing simple-swap drives in the server. Before you install a simple-

swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following information. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see

www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/

• Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to

the instructions in this chapter.

• As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB format drives in the same

RAID array because it may lead to potential performance issues.

• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the documentation that

comes with the drive.

• Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.

• Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have to set any switches or

jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SATA device, be sure to set the SATA ID for that device.

• The simple-swap server models support up to sixteen 2.5-inch or eight 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard

disk drives. Do not install hot-swap drives into a simple-swap server model, it is not supported.
