Replacing a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to replace a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive.
The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information that
you must consider when you install a hard disk drive:
• Depending on the model, the server supports up to eight or up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap
hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays.
Note: When using ServeRAID adapter M1015 to support more than sixteen 2.5-inch hard disk drives, the
maximum number of RAID supported drives is 16. All the other drives will remain JBOD (the drives are
presented to the operating system without a RAID configuration).
• For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see
• 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.
To replace a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 169.
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,
