Installing a hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drive Some hot-swap SAS models support 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. The hot-swap SATA models support 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA hard disk drives. Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information: v Depending on your model, the server supports the following maximum number of hot-swap drives: - Four 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS - Four 3.5-inch hot-swap SATA - Four 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS - Eight 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS v You must install either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard disk drives in the server. Do not install both SAS and SATA drives in the server. v Install drives in the following sequence: - For server models that support four hard disk drives, install the drives starting from the top bay to the bottom bay (bay 4, 5, 6, and then 7). - For server models that support eight hard disk drives, install the drives starting from left to right (bay 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and then 11). v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage. v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray. 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 SAS/SATA 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 you work inside the server with the power on. To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Unlock the side cover (the bezel will not disengage from the server if the cover is locked). 3. Remove the lower bezel (see "Removing the two-piece bezel" on page 25). 4. 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. 5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Make sure that the drive tray handle is open. b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay as shown in the following illustrations based on your model. 36 System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: User's Guide

Installing
a
hot-swap
SAS
or

SATA
hard
disk
drive
Some
hot-swap
SAS
models
support
2.5-inch
or
3.5-inch
hot-swap
SAS
hard
disk
drives.
The
hot-swap
SATA
models
support
3.5-inch
hot-swap
SATA
hard
disk
drives.
Before
you
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive,
read
the
following
information:
v
Depending
on
your
model,
the
server
supports
the
following
maximum
number
of
hot-swap
drives:
–
Four

v
You
must
install
either
all
SAS
hard
disk
drives
or
all
SATA
hard
disk
drives
in
the
server.
Do
not
install
both
SAS
and
SATA
drives
in
the
server.
v
Install
drives
in
the
following
sequence:
–
For
server
models
that
support
four
hard
disk
drives,
install
the
drives
starting
from
the
top
bay
to
the
bottom
bay
(bay
4,
5,
6,
and
then
7).
–
For
server
models
that
support
eight
hard
disk
drives,
install
the
drives
starting
from
left
to
right
(bay
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
and
then
11).
v
Inspect
the
drive
tray
for
signs
of
damage.
v
Make
sure
that
the
drive
is
correctly
installed
in
the
tray.
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
SAS/SATA
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
you
work
inside
the
server
with
the
power
on.
To
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
20.
2.
Unlock
the
side
cover
(the
bezel
will
not
disengage
from
the
server
if
the
cover
is
locked).
3.
Remove
the
lower
bezel
(see
“Removing
the
two-piece
bezel”
on
page
25).
4.
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.
5.
Install
the
hard
disk
drive
in
the
hot-swap
bay:
a.
Make
sure
that
the
drive
tray
handle
is
open.
b.
Align
the
drive
assembly
with
the
guide
rails
in
the
bay
as
shown
in
the
following
illustrations
based
on
your
model.
