Installing a simple-swap Serial ATA hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7 Some server models support simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives, which are easily accessible from the front of the server. Drives are installed starting at the bottom, in bay 7. Additional drives are then installed in bays 6, 5, and 4. Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following information: v Read the documentation that comes with the drive for cabling instructions. v You can install two simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the server. Note: You can install a third and fourth SATA drive if you install an optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter in the server. The optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter comes with two cables that you can use to cable the third and fourth SATA drives. If you install the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter, all four SATA drives must then be connected to the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter instead of the system board. See "Installing an adapter" on page 51 and "Cabling an optional SATA adapter" on page 55, or see the the optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter documentation. v Install simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 7, bay 6, bay 5, and bay 4. v Bays 4, 5, 6, and 7 are simple-swap bays and do not require cabling. Complete the following steps to install a simple-swap hard disk drive: 1. Read Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 143, and the "Installation guidelines" on page 25. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords. 3. Unlock the side cover (the bezel filler will not disengage from the server if the cover is locked). 4. Grasp the recessed area on the bezel filler and rotate the bezel filler outward until it disengages from the server. Chapter 4. Customer replacement units 43

models
support
simple-swap
Serial
ATA
(SATA)
hard
disk
drives,
which
are
easily
accessible
from
the
front
of
the
server.
Drives
are
installed
starting
at
the
bottom,
in
bay
7.
Additional
drives
are
then
installed
in
bays
6,
5,
and
4.
Before
you
install
a
simple-swap
SATA
hard
disk
drive,
read
the
following
information:
v
Read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
drive
for
cabling
instructions.
v
You
can
install
two
simple-swap
SATA
hard
disk
drives
in
the
server.
Note:
You
can
install
a
third
and
fourth
SATA
drive
if
you
install
an
optional
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
in
the
server.
The
optional
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
comes
with
two
cables
that
you
can
use
to
cable
the
third
and
fourth
SATA
drives.
If
you
install
the
optional
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter,
all
four
SATA
drives
must
then
be
connected
to
the
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
instead
of
the
system
board.
See
“Installing
an
adapter”
on
page
51
and
“Cabling
an
optional
SATA
adapter”
on
page
55,
