9. Install the battery in the mounting bracket on the server wall. 10. Connect the battery to the ServeRAID-8k SAS controller. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 40. Installing a drive The following notes describe the types of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive: v The server supports up to four 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-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. v For a list of supported optional devices 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 the server will be configured for RAID operation, 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 you install 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 you perform any steps that involve installing or removing cables. v If the server will be configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID controller, you must configure the disk arrays before you install the operating system. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. The following illustration shows how to install a hot-swap hard disk drive. 32 IBM System x3755 Type 8877: User's Guide

Install
the
battery
in
the
mounting
bracket
on
the
server
wall.
10.
Connect
the
battery
to
the
ServeRAID-8k
SAS
controller.
If
you
have
other
devices
to
install
or
remove,
do
so
now;
otherwise,
go
to
“Completing

Installing
a
drive
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
hard
disk
drives
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
a
hard
disk
drive:
v
The
server
supports
up
to
four
1-inch
(26
mm)
slim-high,
3.5-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.
v
For
a
list
of
supported
optional
devices
for
the
server,
see
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
the
server
will
be
configured
for
RAID
operation,
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
you
install
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
you
perform
any
steps
that
involve
installing
or
removing
cables.
v
If
the
server
will
be
configured
for
RAID
operation
using
a
ServeRAID
controller,
you
must
configure
the
disk
arrays
before
you
install
the
operating
system.
See
the
ServeRAID
documentation
on
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Support
CD
for
additional
information
about
RAID
operation
and
complete
instructions
for
using
ServeRAID
Manager.
The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
install
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive.
