Preparing To Install A Disk Drive Or Solid-State Drive - IBM 8202-E4B Manual

Attention:
v Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD) from damaging your hardware.
v When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It
does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical
equipment.
v If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing
or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Note: Some of the figures in these procedures might not look exactly like the system or expansion unit
that you have. However, the steps to complete the task are the same.
Complete the following tasks to install a drive:

Preparing to install a disk drive or solid-state drive

Complete the following steps before installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or in an
expansion unit:
1. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see "Before you begin" on page 137.
2. Identify the system for performing the installation or upgrading by turning on the system identify
(blue) LED. For instructions, see Control panel LEDs and Enabling enclosure indicators.
3. If applicable, remove the system unit door, remove the expansion unit door, or open the rack.
4. Remove the front cover:
v For instructions for a rack-mounted system, see "Removing the front cover from a rack-mounted
system" on page 151.
v For instructions for a stand-alone system, see "Removing the front cover from a stand-alone
8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, or 8205-E6B system" on page 152.
5. Determine the next available disk drive or solid-state drive position in the system or an expansion
unit. For information, see "Disk drive locations and service indicators for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system" on page 97.
Note: When you have a system with an expansion unit, fill the slot positions in the system unit first.
However, you can choose a different disk drive or solid-state drive placement depending on your
data protection strategy.
6. Find the package that contains the new drive.
Attention: Drives are fragile. Handle with care.
7. Remove the drive from the static-protective package.
8. Proceed to preparing to install the disk drive or solid-state drive by using the diagnostic command.
