Replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
About this task
The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports
and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive.
For a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/
x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
v Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.
v As a general consideration, do not mix standard 512-byte and advanced 4-KB
format drives in the same RAID array because it may lead to potential
performance issues.
v Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
v Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you have
to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA
hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
v The hot-swap server models support up to twenty-six 2.5-inch or fourteen
3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives.
v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When
you install a drive or a PCI Express adapter, save the EMC shield and filler
panel from the bay or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the event that you later
remove the device.
v For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
To install a hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the bay 0
(upper-left).
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on "Safety" on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 294.
2. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay. Keep the filler panel in a
safe place.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
4. Install the hard disk drive in the drive bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is in the open (unlocked) position.
b. Align the drive with the guide rails in the bay.
