IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives

Hot-swap server models have drive bays that are connected to a SAS/SATA
backplane. This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the
printed circuit board behind these bays.
The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays.
The following table lists the IDs for the hard disk drives and backplane that are
connected to hot-swap models.

Installing a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive (TD100 models only)

Some server models come with simple-swap SATA hard disk drives that are
accessible from the front of the server. Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard
disk drive, read the following information:
v You must turn off the server before installing simple-swap drives in the server.
v You can install only four simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server.
v The sequence for installing the hard disk drives is to install the drives starting
d. Push the drive tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk
drive is operating correctly. (You might have to restart the server before the
drive is recognized.) If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit
continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the
amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is flashing slowly, this indicates
that the drive is being rebuilt. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a
drive is flashing rapidly, this indicates that the controller is identifying the
drive. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that
the drive is in use.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional
ServeRAID
after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation
on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about
RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID
Manager.
