v For a list of supported options for the server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us.
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v If the server has an optional RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes
with the adapter for instructions on installing a hard disk drive.
v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating;
mixing speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput
speed.
v To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are
installing them in a rack configuration, install the server in the rack before
installing the hard disk drives.
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
drive bays. However, you must turn off the server when performing any steps
that involve installing or removing cables.
v You can install three additional hot-swap hard disk drives in the server after you
install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option. These drives are in the
optional hard disk drive cage. Connect the cable to J58 SCSI channel A on the
system board. See the instructions that are provided with the option for
installation instructions and additional information.
v Some filler panels come with a slim filler.
v The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the bezel.
