Lenovo System x3500 M5 Type 5464 Installation And Service Manual page 85

• For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
• Inspect the drive and drive bay for signs of damage.
• Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the drive bay.
• See the documentation for the ServeRAID adapter for instructions for installing a hard disk drive.
• All hot-swap drives in the server must have the same throughput speed rating; using drives with different
speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the speed of the slowest drive.
• You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. However, you
must turn off the server when you perform any steps that involve installing or removing cables.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on
might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem,
always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the
server with the power on.
Read the safety information in "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 29.
If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to turn off the server and peripheral devices,
and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
To install a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.

Step 2. Open the bezel (see "Removing the bezel" on page 184).
Step 3. Remove the 2.5-inch filler panel, if one is present.
Step 4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the disk drive to any unpainted metal surface
on the server; then, remove the disk drive from the package.
Step 5. Make sure that the drive handle is opened by press the latch; then, install the hard disk drive
into the drive bay.
Step 6. Rotate the drive handle until the drive is seated in the drive bay and the release latch clicks into
place.
