Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install comes mounted in a hot-swap-drive
tray. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with hot-swap drives.
The hot-swap bays are connected to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the
printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the
hot-swap drives.
The following illustration shows the hot-swap-drive backplane component locations,
as viewed from the front of the server.
Note: The hard disk drive activity LED and hard disk drive status LED on the
backplane match the hard disk drive activity LED and hard disk drive status
LED on the hot-swap drive.
The following illustration shows the rear connectors on the hot-swap-drive
backplane, as viewed from the rear of the server.
When you install hot-swap hard disk drives, install them in the following order: bay
7, bay 6, and bay 5.
