Short screws
Complete the following steps to install a 2.5-inch IDE hard disk drive.
Note: Do not install a drive into IDE connector 2 if you intend to also install an I/O
expansion option. The I/O expansion option occupies the same area as the
second IDE drive.
1. Review the information in "Safety" beginning on page v and "Installation
guidelines" on page 15.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit" on page 16 for instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover. See "Opening the blade server cover" on
page 17 for instructions.
5. Insert the riser card from the option kit into an IDE connector on the blade
server system board.
Important: Drives must be installed in the following order: IDE connector 1
first, then IDE connector 2.
6. Place the hard disk drive tray from the option kit over the riser card as shown
in the illustration, aligning the tray with the screw holes on the system board.
Two of the screw holes have screws in them.
7. Remove the tray temporarily; then, remove the two screws from the screw
holes on the system board and replace the tray. Secure the tray to the system
board with screws from the kit.
8. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive.
Important: Both IDE drives must be set to Master.
Attention: Do not press on the top of the hard disk drive. Pressing the top
could damage the drive.
9. Place the hard disk drive into the tray and push it, from the rear edge of the
drive, into the connector on the riser card until the drive moves past the lever
at the back of the tray. The drive clicks into place.
10. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 31.
