Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring Installing Hot Swap Hard Drives Use the following steps to install hot swap hard drives: CAUTION Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from the anti-static bag, handle it only by the frame. Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever you set it down. 1. Unlock the hot swap mass storage cage before attempting to remove the drive filler panel. CAUTION To prevent snapping off the handle, do not use extreme force when opening it. Open the handle until you feel resistance. 2. Remove any filler panels in the desired drive slot. a. Press in the locking latch and insert your finger. b. Using your finger, pull the filler panel straight out. See Figure 3-11. Figure 3-11. Removing Filler Panel 3. Open the drive module by pressing in on the locking latch at the end of the drive ejector handle and pulling the handle open. 4. Gently slide the new drive module into the drive slot and stop when you feel resistance. 5. Verify the hooks behind the pivot end of the handle engages the hole in the edge of the cage. 6. Press the ejector handle in until you feel the latch click into place. Closing the ejector handle engages the drive with the electrical connector in the hot swap drive cage and seats the drive. 7. If the drive is unseated in the cage after closing the ejector handle, remove the drive and insert it once again. The handle was probably not pulled out far enough, and the locking latch failed to engage the hot swap mass storage cage. 22
