Notes:
1.
You can hot-swap a hard disk drive only if a ServeRAID adapter configured as
RAID1 is installed in the system. If you use any other ServeRAID or SCSI
configuration, you cannot hot-swap the hard disk drive.
Each hard disk drive tray has a status and an activity light located on the upper-right
corner of tray (see "Server controls and indicators" on page 6 for the location of the
status and activity indicators). These lights are used to show when there is drive
activity or, in some cases, when there is a problem with your hard disk drive.
•
The drive must be a low voltage differential drive (LVD), and have a single
connector attached (SCA) connector.
•
The hard disk drive bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the
printed circuit board behind the bay and is connected to J4 on the system board.
•
The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives.
Preinstallation steps
Before you install a hard disk drive, review the following.
•
Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage.
•
Ensure that the drive is installed properly in the tray.
•
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server/workstation for
more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each
bay.
•
If your server/workstation has a ServeRAID adapter installed; refer to the
documentation provided with the ServeRAID adapter for information about
adding a drive.
•
Read the safety precautions listed in "Safety information" on page 149, "Handling
electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices" on page 152.
•
Check the instructions that come with the drive for more information about
installing the drive.
