Internal drives

If you add different types of drives, your system can read multiple types of media
and store more data. Several types of drives are available, such as:
v Diskette
v Hard disk
v CD-ROM
v Tape
The server contains hardware that lets you replace a failed hard disk drive without
turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to operate
your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are known
as hot-swappable or hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights (see "Controls and indicators" on
page 7). If the amber hard-disk status light is lit continuously, that individual drive is
faulty and needs to be replaced. When the hard-disk status light indicates a drive
fault, you can replace that hot-swap drive without turning off the server.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray
attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with the hot-swap drives.

Internal drive bays

Internal drives are installed in bays. The server comes with a preinstalled diskette
drive and a preinstalled CD-ROM drive.

Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector
before you apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause
damage to the system board or the adapter.
c. Insert and tighten the expansion-slot screw on the top of the adapter
bracket.
v If you are installing a ServeRAID adapter, disconnect the cable from SCSI
connector A (J24) on the system board and plug it into the connector on the
top of the ServeRAID adapter.
v If you are installing an adapter that is not a ServeRAID adapter, refer to the
documentation that came with your adapter for cabling instructions.
Attention: Route cables so that the flow of air from the fans is not blocked.
