Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7 Bays 5, 6, and 7 are in the drive cage. The drive cage is located just above the front adapter-support bracket. Note: You might find it useful to work with the server laying on its side. Complete the following steps to install a non-hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7: 1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety information" on page 119. 2. Read the information in "Preinstallation steps" on page 49. 3. Turn off the server and all attached devices. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover" on page 40 for details. 4. Remove the frame-support bracket and disconnect the fan cable from the connector on the system board. See "Removing the frame-support bracket" on page 41 for details. 5. If your server has hard disk drives preinstalled in the drive cage, disconnect the power and signal cables from the rear of the drives. 6. Rotate the drive cage out of the server until it locks into place with the drive-cage-retention tab. The open ends of the drive slots and installed drives will face you. Note: Ensure that the drive cage locks into place over the drive-cage-retention tab by pressing the drive cage all the way up. 7. Attach the guide rails to the side of the drive using the screws provided. If you obtained your optional drive from IBM, the guide rails are blue plastic. 8. Slide the drive into the drive cage until the plastic tabs on the drive guide rails lock into place in the drive cage. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the drive cage. 9. Press in on the drive-cage-retention tab, and rotate the cage back into the server. Chapter 4. Installing options 53
