Installing a simple-swap hard disk drive
This procedure applies only to server models that have simple-swap SATA hard disk
drives. See the User's Guide for information about the installation sequence and
other important information.
Attention:
Simple-swap hard disk drives are not hot-swappable. Disconnect all
power from the server you remove or install a simple-swap hard disk drive.
To install a simple-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
2. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
3. Pull the loops of the drive assembly toward each other; then, carefully slide the
drive assembly into the drive bay until it stops, and release the loops.
Note: Do not release the loops on the drive assembly until it is completely
seated.
4. Install the lower bezel (see "Installing the lower bezel" on page 55).
5. Lock the side cover.
6. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and turn on the server.
