Note

Do not install a SCSI hard disk drive in SCSI connector 1 (SCSI ID 1) if you intend to also install an

optional standard expansion card. The standard expansion card occupies the same area as the second

drive.

To install a SCSI hard disk drive, complete the following steps:

1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 17.

2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the

SBCE unit (see "Removing the blade server from the SBCE unit" on page 19 for instructions).

3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.

4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 20 for instructions).

5. Locate SCSI connector 0 (J95).

Attention: Do not press on the top of the drive. Pressing the top could damage the drive.

6. Place the drive into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the drive, into the connector until

the drive moves past the lever at the back of the tray. The drive clicks into place.

7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the

installation" on page 41.
