9. If you are installing a 5.25-in. drive in bay 2, push the drive into the bay. If you are installing a 3.5-in. drive in bay 2, you must attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit to the 3.5-in. drive. Note: An optional diskette drive can be installed in bay 3. 10. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SATA device; then, connect one end of the applicable signal cable into the rear of the drive and make sure that the other end of this cable is connected into the applicable IDE or SATA connector on the system board. 11. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). 12. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now. 13. Connect the power cable to the rear of the drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted only one way. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise go to "Completing the installation" on page 44. Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7 This procedure applies only to server models that have hot-swap hard disk drives. Some server models come with SAS or SATA hot-swap hard disk drives. Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information: v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA hard disk drives; the two types cannot be combined. v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage. v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray. v 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 drive bay. v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. The server hot-swap bays are connected to a SAS/SATA backplane. This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit board behind these bays. Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on. Note: If you install the maximum number of hot-swap hard disk drives (four), remove the EMC shield that is attached inside the lower bezel. Chapter 2. Installing options 31

Installing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
in
bay
4,
5,
6,
or
7
This
procedure
applies
only
to
server
models
that
have
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives.
Some
server
models
come
with
SAS
or
SATA
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives.
Before
you
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive,
read
the
following
information:
v
The
hot-swap
drives
must
be
either
all
SAS
hard
disk
drives
or
all
SATA
hard
disk
drives;
the
two
types
cannot
be
combined.
v
Inspect
the
drive
tray
for
signs
of
damage.
v
Make
sure
that
the
drive
is
correctly
installed
in
the
tray.
v
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
drive
bay.
v
You
do
not
have
to
turn
off
the
server
to
install
hot-swap
drives
in
the
hot-swap
drive
bays.
The
server
hot-swap
bays
are
connected
to
a
SAS/SATA
backplane.
This
backplane,
also
known
as
the
hot-swap-drive
backplane,
is
the
printed
circuit
board
behind
these
bays.
Attention:
Static
electricity
that
is
released
to
internal
server
components
when
the
server
is
powered-on
might
cause
the
server
to
stop,
which
could
result
in
the
loss
of
data.
To
avoid
this
potential
problem,
always
use
an
electrostatic-discharge
wrist
strap
or
other
grounding
system
when
working
inside
the
server
with
the
power
on.
Note:
If
you
install
the
maximum
number
of
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
(four),
remove
the
EMC
shield
that
is
attached
inside
the
lower
bezel.
