Installing a drive on module in the 8001-22C system
Learn how to install a drive on module (DOM) in the IBM Power System S822LC for Big Data (8001-22C)
system.
Before you begin
Power off the system and place it in the service position. For instructions, see "Preparing the 8001-22C or
8005-22N system to remove and replace internal parts" on page 92.
About this task
You can plug SATA drive on module (DOM) drives directly into the system backplane. Use the two
orange SATA connectors. If you use SATA DOM, they limit the number of front-mounted SATA drives.
You can use up to two SATA DOM drives.
v If you have one SATA DOM plugged into the system backplane, you can use up to seven
front-mounted SATA drives.
v If you have two SATA DOMs plugged into the system backplane, you can use up to six front-mounted
SATA drives.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to
an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging
your hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used 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 an ESD 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.
2. Install the DOM into the system backplane, in positions (A), as shown in Figure 10 on page 16.
Depending on the DOM model, you may also have to plug in a small power cord for the DOM.
Ensure you plug the connectors in properly.
