Preparing To Install A Disk Drive Or Solid-State Drive By Using The Hsm - IBM 8202-E4B Manual

v For instructions for a stand-alone system, see "Removing the front cover from a stand-alone
8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, or 8205-E6B system" on page 152.
5. Determine the next available disk drive or solid-state drive position in the system or an expansion
unit. For information, see "Disk drive locations and service indicators for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system" on page 97.
Note: When you have a system with an expansion unit, fill the slot positions in the system unit first.
However, you can choose a different disk drive or solid-state drive placement depending on your
data protection strategy.
6. Find the package that contains the new drive.
Attention: Drives are fragile. Handle with care.
7. Remove the drive from the static-protective package.
8. Proceed to installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the system or disk drive enclosure by using
the Hardware Service Manager (HSM).

Preparing to install a disk drive or solid-state drive by using the HSM

Complete the following steps before installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or in an
expansion unit:
1. Record the physical location where the new disk drive or solid-state drive can be installed.
a. The physical location has the following form: U787A.001.AAAXXXX-P3-D4 where P3-D4 is the
position of the disk drive or solid-state drive in the system unit or an expansion unit. Find the
U787A.001.AAAXXXX location information from the control panel display on the system unit or
expansion unit.
b. In this example, U787A.001.AAAXXXX-P3-D4, U787A.001 comes from the feature code (FC) on the
label, AAAXXXX comes from the last 7 digits of the sequence number (SN or SEQ) on the label,
and P3–D4 is the slot where you are installing the disk drive or solid-state drive.
c. If you cannot find the location information from the control panel, find the feature code (FC) and
sequence number (SN or SEQ) on the label that is shown on the front of the system unit or an
expansion unit, as shown in Figure 11. In the example, U5074.001.AAAXXXX-DB3-D32, you would
install a disk drive or solid-state drive in the expansion unit with type 5074, model 001, sequence
number AAAXXXX, and disk drive or solid-state drive position DB3–D32.

2. Sign on to service level authority.
3. Type strsst in the command line of the IBM i session and then press Enter.
4. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password in the Start Service Tools Sign On
display, and then press Enter.
Note: The service tools password is case-sensitive.
5. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display, and then press Enter.
6. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display, and then press Enter.
7. If the slot you want to use contains a disk drive filler, do not remove the disk drive filler yet.
8. Select Device Concurrent Maintenance from the Hardware Service Manager display, and then press
Enter.
