Figure 2-21 Install a hot-swap hard disk drive

To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read t h e Tecal RH5485 Safety Information.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.
Issue 02 (2011-05-25)
Start installing the hard disk drives from the bottom bay (bay 0).
If the server will be configured for RAID operation, see the documentation that comes
with the controller for instructions for installing a hard disk drive.
All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating; using
drives with different speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the lowest
throughput speed.
To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you install the server
in a rack configuration, install the server in the rack before you install the hard disk
drives.
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.
