SCSI adapter SCSI cable 9. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter. If you installed a Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, see the documentation that comes with the adapter for information about installing the firmware and configuring the option. Create a backup copy of the configuration so that if you need to replace the adapter in the future, you can restore the configuration. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 51. Installing a hot-swap drive The following notes describe the type of hard disk drive that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive: v The server supports six 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch low-voltage differential (LVD) hard disk drives installed on Ultra-Slim hard disk drive trays. For a list of supported hard disk drives, go to the ServerProven Web site at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ . v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating. Mixing hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput speed. v The SCSI ID that is assigned to each bay is printed on the server front. The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive. 38 xSeries 346 Types 8840 and 1880: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Installing
a
hot-swap
drive
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
hard
disk
drive
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
hard
disk
drive:
v
The
server
supports
six
1-inch
(26
mm)
slim,
3.5-inch
low-voltage
differential
(LVD)
hard
disk
drives
installed
on
Ultra-Slim
hard
disk
drive
trays.
For
a
list
of
supported
hard
disk
drives,
go
to
the
ServerProven
Web
site
at
.
v
All
hot-swap
drives
in
the
server
should
have
the
same
throughput
speed
rating.
Mixing
hard
disk
drives
with
different
speed
ratings
will
cause
all
drives
to
operate
at
the
lower
throughput
speed.
v
The
SCSI
ID
that
is
assigned
to
each
bay
is
printed
on
the
server
front.
The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive.
