Lenovo System x3650 M4 Installation And Service Manual page 263

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.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this chapter.
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
• 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.
• The hot-swap server models support up to eight 2.5-inch or three 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA
hard disk drives.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays
and PCI and PCI Express slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express
adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or PCI or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the
event that you later remove the device.
• For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/
serverproven/.
• Before you install an additional hot-swap hard disk drive, go to Table 2 "Power supply configurations" on
page 9 for detailed power supply configurations.
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).
Step 1. Read the safety information that begins on "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 34.
Step 2. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay. Keep the filler panel in a safe place.
Step 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.
Step 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.
