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 "General Safety" and "Electrical Safety" beginning on page vi and
"Installation guidelines" on page 19.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the
system chassis. See "Removing the blade server from the system chassis" on page 19 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 20 for instructions.
5. Insert the riser card (A) 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 (B) from the option kit over the riser card as shown in the
illustration, aligning the tray with the screw holes (C) on the system board. Two of the screw
holes have screws in them.
