Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive. Filler panel Drive-tray assembly Hot-swap lock bar Drive tray-handle (in open position) Complete the following steps to install a drive in a hot-swap bay. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay. Note: All hot-swap drives being used in the server should have the same speed rating; mixing speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the lower speed. 1. Review the safety information beginning on page 129 and "Installation guidelines" on page 33. 2. Open the server door. 3. Remove the hot-swap lock bar: a. Unlock the side-cover lock. b. Rotate the hot-swap lock bar forward and remove it from the bezel. If the hot-swap lock bar will not rotate, press the top of the hot-swap lock bar to release the lock mechanism. 4. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the server. 5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to verify that the hard disk drive is operating properly. Chapter 4. Installing options 47
