The server contains hardware that lets you replace a failed
hard disk drive without turning off the server. Therefore,
you have the advantage of continuing to operate the
system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed.
These drives are known as hot-swappable drives. They
are also referred to as hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a
hot-swap-drive tray attached. The drive must have a
single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with the hot-swap drives.
The server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch,
1.44 MB diskette drive and a preinstalled IDE
CD-ROM drive.
Bays A and B come without a device installed. These
bays are for 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media
drives, such as tape backup drives. Bays A and B
can be combined into a single full-high bay.
The xSeries 240 server supports only one diskette
drive.
Note
The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both
protected by having bays A and B covered or
occupied. When you install a drive, save the
filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove
the drive and do not replace it with another.
If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector
in one of the non-hot-swap bays (bays A–B), you
need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the
