Attention: When you install an adapter, avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the adapter. Be sure the adapter is correctly seated in the connector. Incorrectly seated adapters might cause damage to the I/O board or to the adapter. f. Press the adapter firmly into the adapter connector. g. Push down on the blue adapter guide to stabilize the adapter. h. Close the tab; then, push down on the blue adapter retention latch until it clicks into place, securing the adapter. 7. Connect any required cables to the adapter. 8. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 58. Removing a PCI or PCI-X adapter To remove an adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Complete steps 1 on page 35 through 3 on page 35. 2. Open the blue adapter guide (see step 6a on page 35) and the orange adapter retention latch (see step 6b on page 35). 3. If the adapter has any internal cables, disconnect them. 4. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners and pull the adapter up and out of the server. 5. If the adapter slot will remain empty, close the blue adapter guide and the orange adapter retention latch, and replace the expansion slot cover. 6. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 58. Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive: v The server supports up to six 26 mm (1-inch), 3.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. v Each hot-swap drive is in a tray, which has a green activity LED and an amber status LED in the upper-right corner. The activity LED flashes when the drive is active; the status LED is lit if the drive has an error. Each hot-swap drive has a single-connector-attached (SCA) connector, which connects directly into the hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive backplane. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives. v Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, take the following actions: - Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage. - Make sure that the drive is installed in the tray correctly. - If your server has an optional RAID adapter installed, see the documentation that comes with the adapter for information about installing a hard disk drive. Complete the following steps to install a hard disk drive: 1. Read "Safety information" on page 147 and "Installation guidelines" on page 29. 2. Remove the filler panel and air baffle from one of the empty hot-swap bays, if present. 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. 36 IBM xSeries 365 Types 8861, 8862: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Installing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
hard
disk
drives
that
your
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
hard
disk
drive:
v
The
server
supports
up
to
six
26
mm
(1-inch),
3.5-inch,
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
in
the
hot-swap
bays.
v
Each
hot-swap
drive
is
in
a
tray,
which
has
a
green
activity
LED
and
an
amber
status
LED
in
the
upper-right
corner.
The
activity
LED
flashes
when
the
drive
is
active;
the
status
LED
is
lit
if
the
drive
has
an
error.
Each
hot-swap
drive
has
a
single-connector-attached
(SCA)
connector,
which
connects
directly
into
the
hot-swap
SCSI
hard
disk
drive
backplane.
The
backplane
controls
the
SCSI
IDs
for
the
hot-swap
drives.
v
Before
you
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive,
take
the
following
actions:
–
Inspect
the
drive
tray
for
any
signs
of
damage.
–
Make
sure
that
the
drive
is
installed
in
the
tray
correctly.
–
If
your
server
has
an
optional
RAID
adapter
installed,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
for
information
about
installing
a
hard
disk
drive.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
hard
disk
drive:
1.
Read
“Safety
information”
on
page
147
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
29.
2.
Remove
the
filler
panel
and
air
baffle
from
one
of
the
empty
hot-swap
bays,
if
present.
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.
