8. Remove the drive retainer clip from the side of the drive cage of bays 1 and 2 (see the illustration at the beginning of this section). Slide the drive retainer clip to the left to remove it from the drive cage; then, snap the drive retainer clip into the screw holes on the side of the drive (the blue side of the drive retainer clip should be facing outward). 9. Push the drive into the bay. 10. Connect one end of the applicable signal cable into the rear of the drive and make sure that the other end of this cable is connected into the applicable connector on the system board. 11. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). 12. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now. 13. Connect the power cable to the rear of the drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted only one way. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 31. Installing a hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drive Some server models come with hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drives. Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information: v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard disk drives. Do not mix SAS and SATA drives v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage. v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray. v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without a drive installed in each drive bay. v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. The server hot-swap bays are connected to a hard disk drive backplane. This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit board behind these bays. Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on. Note: If you install the maximum number of hot-swap hard disk drives (four), remove the EMC shield that is attached inside the lower bezel. 20 System x3200 Type 4362 and 4363: Installation Guide
