Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive The server hot-swap models support either two SAS hard disk drives or two SATA hard disk drives. The installation procedure is the same for either type drive. The illustrations in this procedure show SAS drives. To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps: Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, install it in the left drive bay. Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 7. 2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed. 3. Remove the filler panel from the bay. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay. 4. Open the drive tray handle. 5. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. 6. Close the drive tray handle. 7. Check the hard disk drive status LED to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. If you have other options to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 15. 12 IBM xSeries 306m Types 8849 and 8491: Installation Guide
