Your server contains hardware that enables you to replace a failed hard disk drive

without turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to

operate your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are

known as hot-swap drives.

Each hot-swap drive has two indicator lights on the front of the server. If the amber

hard-disk status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and

needs to be replaced. When the hard-disk status light indicates a drive fault, you can

replace a hot-swap drive without turning off the server.

Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must be 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.

Your server comes with one CD-ROM drive and one 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette

drive.

The left front bays support 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drives. Any

two adjacent 5.25-inch, half-high bays can be converted to a single full-high bay.

The server EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having the

left front bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the

filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not

replace it with another.

You cannot install hard disk drives in the left front bays. You can install hot-

swap hard disk drives only in the hot-swap hard disk drive bays on the right

front side of the server.

If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in one of the left front bays,

you will need a 68-to-50-pin converter (option number 32G3925).
