Installing a hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9

Some server models support hot-swap hard disk drives. The SCSI ID for each
hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock bar.
Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.
v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10
v All hot-swap drives in the server must have the same speed rating; if you mix
v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap
v Set the drive jumpers either to disable auto-start or to delay startup, to prevent
v Install hot-swap hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 9, bay 8, bay 7, bay 6,
v If the server has an optional RAID adapter, see the documentation that comes

8. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive from the front and then
attach the cables.
9. If you are installing a 3.5-in. drive in bay 2, attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit,
which you can order from IBM, to the 3.5-in. drive.
3. Slide the drive clip toward the rear of the server; then, snap the drive clip
into the screw holes on the side of the drive or conversion kit.
of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and make sure that the
other end of this cable is connected into the applicable IDE or SCSI connector
on the system board.
v If you are installing a SCSI removable-media drive, use the one-drop SCSI
cable that comes with the drive and connect it to SCSI channel A (SCSI1).
See "Power and signal cables for internal drives" on page 44 for additional
information about cabling drives and "System board internal connectors" on
page 86 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board.
v If there are open connectors on the cable connecting an existing IDE drive,
you can use this cable to connect the new drive. The 4-connector SCSI
cable that comes with non-hot-swap model servers cannot be used to
connect a SCSI drive in bay 2.
