Installing a non-hot-swap drive

Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any

1. Review the information in"Before you begin" on page 42.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and then remove the cover and
bezel. (See "Removing the cover and bezel" on page 44.)
3. Remove the filler panel from the bay opening by pushing in the side latches
and pulling the filler panel away from the server. You do not need the filler
panel when you have a drive installed in the bay.
Note: The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are
protected by having the non-hot-swap 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.
4. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a
static-protective surface.
5. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
6. Install rails on the drive.
v If you are installing a standard-size drive:
a. Pull the blue slide rails off the back of the filler panel.
b. Clip the rails onto the sides of the drive.
