Installing A 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit - IBM eserver xSeries 350 User Reference Manual

Installing a 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit

You can install an optional 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit in your server to
connect three additional hot-swap hard disk drives in your server. This kit contains a
hot-swap hard disk drive backplane that you install adjacent to the standard hot-swap
hard disk drive backplane. Your server supports a maximum of two hot-swap drive
backplanes.
Notes:
1. In addition to the optional hot-swap drive backplane, the 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-
Swap Expansion Kit comes with a hard disk drive cage. Do not install the hard
disk drive cage in your server. The hard disk drive cage is not compatible with
the xSeries 350 server.
2. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with your server and
options. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors. For
example, the hard disk drive cables are labeled HDD.
3. For information on cabling options and using the 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap
Expansion option, see the documentation that comes with the option kit.
4. For additional information on cabling, see "Cabling the ServeRAID adapter" on
page 44 and "Cabling the server" on page 76.
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 light and hard disk drive status light on the
backplane match the hard-disk drive activity light and hard disk drive status
light on the front of the server (see "Turning on the server" on page 7).
The following illustration shows the rear connectors on the hot-swap-drive
backplane, as viewed from the rear of the server.
