What to do next
If you are instructed to return the hard disk drive, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
Use this information to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
Before you begin
Before you install the hot-swap hard disk drive, read "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 487.
About this task
The compute node has two SAS or SATA hard disk drive bays for installing
hot-swap hard disk drives, such as hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. One hard disk
drive might already be installed in the compute node in hard disk drive bay 0. If
the compute node is equipped with one hard disk drive, you can install an
additional drive in hard disk drive bay 1. The compute node supports using RAID
0 or RAID 1 when two hard disk drives of the same interface type are installed.
See "Configuring a RAID array" on page 35 for information about RAID
configuration.
To install a hot-swap hard disk drive or hard disk drive bay filler, complete the
following steps.

Procedure
1. Identify the hard disk drive bay (hard disk drive bay 0 or hard disk drive bay
1) in which you plan to install the hot-swap hard disk drive.
2. If a hard disk drive bay filler is installed, remove it from the compute node by
pulling the release lever and sliding the filler away from the compute node.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hot-swap hard disk drive
to any unpainted metal surface on the IBM Flex System chassis or any unpainted
metal surface on any other grounded rack component; then, remove the hard
disk drive from the package.
