Installing A Hot-Swap Drive - IBM totalstorage 200 Hardware Installation Manual

Each hot-swap hard drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap hard drive
tray attached. The hard drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA)
connector. Hot-swap hard drive trays come with the hot-swap drives.
v Your appliance supports up to six slim 25-mm (1-in.) hot-swap hard drives in the
hot-swap bays.
v The hot-swap hard drive bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is
the printed circuit board behind the bay.
v The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap hard drives.

Figure 30. Installing a hot-swap drive
To install a drive in a hot-swap hard drive bay:
Attention:
v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the appliance for more than
two minutes without either a hard drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
Therefore, if you are replacing a defective hot-swap drive, either leave the
defective drive in place or put in a filler panel until you have a replacement drive.
v When you handle electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices (ESDs), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to "Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 76.
1. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap drive bays by inserting
your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it
away from the appliance.
2. Install the hard drive in the hot-swap drive bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the hard drive).
b. Align the rails on the hard drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive
bay.
c. Gently push the hard drive assembly into the drive bay until the hard drive
connects to the backplane.
d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the hard drive
in place.
3. Check the hard drive status indicators to verify that the hard drives are
operating properly (the Hard Drive Status LED is immediately to the right of the
hard disk drive).
v When the amber LED is on continuously, the hard drive has failed.
