Preinstallation Steps (All Bays); Installing A Drive In Bay 1, 2, 3, Or 4 - IBM 8646 - Eserver xSeries 220 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Note: The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server
are both protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When
you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later
remove the drive and do not replace it with another.

Preinstallation steps (all bays)

Before you install drives in the server, verify that you have all the cables and any
other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You
might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are
required only during the initial installation of an option.
1. Read "Safety information" on page 111, "Handling static-sensitive devices" on
page 114, and the documentation that comes with the drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive.

Installing a drive in bay 1, 2, 3, or 4

To install a drive in bay 1, 2, 3, or 4, do the following:
1. Read the information in "Preinstallation steps (all bays)".
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, disconnect all power cords and
then all external cables; then, remove the side cover (see "Removing the side
cover" on page 45 for details).
3. Insert a screwdriver into the slot on the right side of the filler panel, and
