Installing Media Drives
This section helps you install media drives in the optional media position of the system.
Installing a Drive in the Optional Media Position
Attention:
The Linux operating system does not support these hot-pluggable procedures. Also, Linux
does not support hot-plugging any hot-pluggable PCI adapters or devices. The system with Linux installed
on one or more partitions must be shutdown and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter or device
assigned to a Linux partition. Follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter or device procedures when replacing a
PCI adapter or device in any partition with Linux installed.
Attention:
Do not open the drive; no user adjustments or serviceable parts are inside.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation
above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions.
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser
modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end
of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the
inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.
