Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7 Locking tab To install a non-hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7, do the following: 1. Read the information in "Preinstallation steps (all bays)" on page 53. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, disconnect all power cords and then all external cables; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 45 for details). 3. Remove the support bracket assembly (see "Removing the support bracket assembly" on page 47). 4. Rotate the drive cage upward. If the server has a hard disk drive installed in the drive cage, disconnect the cables from the rear of the drive. 5. Remove the plastic bag that contains the drive rails and screws from inside the drive cage. 6. Install rails on each drive in the drive cage: a. Pull the blue slide rails out of the plastic bag. b. Install the screws on the sides of the drive. c. Align the rails on the drive with the guide rails in the drive bay. d. Push the drive into the bay until it clicks into place. 7. Reinstall the drive cage in the server. Rotate the drive cage downward until it snaps into place. 8. Connect the SCSI and power cables to the rear of the drives. Note: Ensure that you route the SCSI cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessors. 9.
