Installing A Hot-Pluggable Sas Hard Drive - HPE Integrity rx2800 i2 series User's & Service Manual

Optional components
This section describes how to install components into the server that are not factory-installed. If you have
additional components to install, be sure to install the additional components before installing the server
into your rack or pedestal configuration. Most servers are pre-configured with all components installed
before shipping from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise factory.
Externally accessible components:
• SAS hard drives
• Power supplies
Internal components:
• Memory DIMMs
• Processors
• PCIe cards
• SAS cache module and super capacitor pack
WARNING:
Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from the server prior
to removing or installing server hardware (unless you are removing or installing a hot-swappable or
hot-pluggable component). Voltage is present at various locations within the server whenever an AC
power source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is turned off.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to the equipment.

Installing a hot-pluggable SAS hard drive

The front of the server has eight hot-plug SAS hard drive slots. Slots without hard drives installed have
slot fillers installed for cooling purposes.
IMPORTANT:
SAS hard drives are loaded in sequence, starting with the top left slot and proceeding down filling
slots 1, 2, 3, 4 in order; and then filling the right side top to bottom 5, 6, 7, 8. See Front panel
components.
Save the hard drive filler for future use. For airflow purposes, place hard drive fillers in slots that do
not contain hard drives.
Procedure
1. To remove the hard drive filler, squeeze the tab and then pull out the filler.
