Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to operate your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are known as hot-swappable or hot-swap drives. Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights (see "Controls and indicators" on page 7). If the amber hard-disk status light is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. When the hard-disk status light indicates a drive fault, you can replace that hot-swap drive without turning off the server. Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector.

faulty and needs to be replaced. When the hard-disk status light indicates a drive
fault, you can replace that hot-swap drive without turning off the server.

Empty 5.25-inch bays
•
Your server comes with one 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive and one IDE CD-
ROM drive.
•
The empty bays below the diskette drive come without a device installed. You can
use these bays for 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drives, such as tape
backup drives. You also can combine these bays into a single, full-high bay and
install a digital linear tape (DLT) drive; or, you can install a 3-Pack Hard-Disk
Drive option, which converts these bays to three hot-swap drive bays.
•
The Netfinity 4500R server supports only one diskette drive.
•
If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in either bay A or B, you
need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter (option number 32G3925).
•
Your server supports three slim-high (1-inch) hot-swap hard disk drives in the
hot-swap bays. If your server has the 3-Pack Bay option installed, it supports
three additional hot-swap hard disk drives.
