Mixing hard drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput speed. v The SCSI ID assigned to each bay is printed on the bezel. The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive. Drive-tray assembly Drive handle Filler panel Complete the following steps to install a hard disk drive in your server. 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. 1.
