Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive: v The server supports up to six 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 2.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard hot-swap bays. v The hot-swap bays are arranged horizontally in the standard hard disk drive cage; the server scans the hard disk drives and assigns drive IDs in the following order: 0 through 2 then, 4 through 6. v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/ eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage. v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray. v If a RAID controller is installed in the server, see the documentation that comes with the controller for instructions for installing a hard disk drive. v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating; mixing speed ratings might cause all drives to operate at the lower throughput speed. v To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are installing the server in a rack configuration, install the server in the rack before installing the hard disk drives. v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. However, you must turn off the server when performing any steps that involve installing or removing cables. v Some filler panels come with a slim filler. v The ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the bezel. The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.

Installing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
hard
disk
drives
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
hard
disk
drive:
v
The
server
supports
up
to
six
1-inch
(26
mm)
slim-high,
2.5-inch,
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
in
the
standard
hot-swap
bays.
v
The
hot-swap
bays
are
arranged
horizontally
in
the
standard
hard
disk
drive
cage;
the
server
scans
the
hard
disk
drives
and
assigns
drive
IDs
in
the
following
order:
0
through
2
then,
4
through
6.
v
For
a
list
of
supported
options
for
the
server,
see
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
Inspect
the
drive
tray
for
signs
of
damage.
v
Make
sure
that
the
drive
is
correctly
installed
in
the
tray.
v
If
a
RAID
controller
is
installed
in
the
server,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
controller
for
instructions
for
installing
a
hard
disk
drive.
v
All
hot-swap
drives
in
the
server
should
have
the
same
throughput
speed
rating;
mixing
speed
ratings
might
cause
all
drives
to
operate
at
the
lower
throughput
speed.
v
To
minimize
the
possibility
of
damage
to
the
hard
disk
drives
when
you
are
installing
the
server
in
a
rack
configuration,
install
the
server
in
the
rack
before
installing
the
hard
disk
drives.
v
You
do
not
have
to
turn
off
the
server
to
install
hot-swap
drives
in
the
hot-swap
drive
bays.
However,
you
must
turn
off
the
server
when
performing
any
steps
that
involve
installing
or
removing
cables.
v
Some
filler
panels
come
with
a
slim
filler.
v
The
ID
for
each
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
is
printed
on
the
bezel.

how
to

hard
disk
drive.
