Installing, non-hot-swap, drives

Page 58 highlights

If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. Note: If your server is configured for RAID operation using the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities or an optional ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. 6. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now; otherwise, continue with step 7. 7. Make sure the side cover is unlocked; then insert the hot-swap lock bar into the slots on the bezel and rotate it to the locked position. 8. Hold the hot-swap lock bar in the closed position, lock the side cover key lock, and close the server door. SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock bar. Table 5 lists the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives and backplane that are connected to one channel in hot-swap hard disk drive models. In the typical configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are connected to channel A. Table 5. SCSI IDs for standard hot-swap hard disk drives and backplane Device SCSI ID Drive bay 9 0 Drive bay 8 1 Drive bay 7 2 Drive bay 6 3 Drive bay 5 4 Drive bay 4 5 Backplane 8 Installing non-hot-swap hard disk drives Bays 4, 5, 6, and 7 are in the drive cage. The drive cage is behind the front of the adapter-support bracket. Drives are installed starting at the bottom in bay 7. Additional drives are then installed in bays 6, 5, and 4. Notes: 1. You can install up to four non-hot-swap hard disk drives in your server. The additional space in the drive cage above bay 4 is not designed to accommodate any additional drives. 2. When installing non-hot-swap hard disk drives, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page 129 and "Installation guidelines" on page 33. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 48 IBM xSeries 225 Types 8649: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

SCSI
IDs
for
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
The
hot-swap-drive
backplane
controls
the
SCSI
IDs
for
the
internal
hot-swap
drive
bays.
The
SCSI
ID
for
each
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
is
printed
on
the
hot-swap
lock
bar.
Table
5
lists
the
SCSI
IDs
for
the
hard
disk
drives
and
backplane
that
are
connected
to
one
channel
in
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
models.
In
the
typical
configuration,
the
standard
hard
disk
drives
and

are
connected
to

Installing
non-hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
Bays
4,
5,
6,
and
7
are
in
the
drive
cage.
The
drive
cage
is
behind
the
front
of
the
adapter-support
bracket.
Drives
are
installed
starting
at
the
bottom
in
bay
7.
Additional
drives
are
then
installed
in
bays
6,
5,
and
4.
Notes:
1.
You
can
install
up
to
four
non-hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
in
your
server.
The
additional
space
in
the
drive
cage
above
bay
4
is
not
designed
to
accommodate
any
additional
drives.
2.
When
installing
non-hot-swap
hard
disk
drives,
you
might
find
it
easier
to
lay
the
server
on
its
side.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
drive
in
bay
4,
5,
6,
or
7:
1.
Review
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
129
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page

2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
all
attached
devices.
