4. You can install the Linux operating system on bare metal systems, or on non-virtualized systems. For
these systems, the operating system runs directly on the Open Power Abstraction Layer (OPAL)
firmware.
For more information about installing the Linux operating system on bare metal systems, see Installing
Linux on bare metal systems (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/liabw/

Installing a front hard disk drive or solid-state drive in the 9183-22X system
To install a front hard disk drive or solid-state drive, complete the steps in this procedure.
About this task
You can install front hard disk drive or solid-state drive in a system that is powered on and running.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is
completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. If at any point in this service process you move away from the
system, it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for
at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
2. To install a single drive in a location that already has a drive backplane, complete the following steps:
a) Unlock the drive filler handle (B) by pushing the handle release (A) down. The handle (B) snaps out
towards you. If the handle does not snap out all the way, the drive filler does not slide out of the
system.
