Installing A Hot-Swap Drive - IBM 8647 - Eserver xSeries 225 Installation Manual

Installing a hot-swap drive

Some server models support a maximum of six 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-inch,
hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard hot-swap bays. The hot-swap bays are
arranged vertically in the standard hard disk drive cage; the bay numbers are 4
through 9 (from top to bottom) with SCSI IDs of 0 through 5 (from bottom to top).
The hot-swap bays are below the removable-media drive bays.
For increased security, the hot-swap drives and filler panels are locked in the server
by the hot-swap lock bar. The hot-swap lock bar cannot be released, allowing
installation and removal of the hot-swap drives and filler panels, unless the key lock
on the server side cover is unlocked.

3. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock
