Filler panel Drive tray assembly Drive handle (in open position) To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v, and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays. 3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the hard disk drive from the package. 4. Make sure that the tray handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the hot-swap bay. Notes: 1. When you turn on the server, check the hard disk drive status LEDs to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. 2. 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. Installing memory modules The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install DIMMs: v The server supports 667 MHz, 1.8 V, 240 pin, PC2-5300 single-ranked or dual-ranked double data-rate (DDR) II, registered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC2-5300 SDRAM Registered DIMM specifications. For a list of the supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/. v The server supports up to four microprocessor/memory cards. Each microprocessor/memory card holds up to eight DIMMs. Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 33

hard
disk
drive,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v,
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
20.
2.
Remove
the
filler
panel
from
one
of
the
empty
hot-swap
bays.
3.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
that
contains
the
hard
disk
drive
to
any
unpainted
surface
on
the
outside
of
the
server;
then,
remove
the
hard
disk
drive
from
the
package.
4.
Make
sure
that
the
tray
handle
is
open;
then,
install
the
hard
disk
drive
into
the
hot-swap
bay.
Notes:
1.
When
you
turn
on
the
server,
check
the
hard
disk
drive
status
LEDs
to
make
sure
that
the
hard
disk
drive
is
operating
correctly.
If
the
amber
hard
disk
drive
status
LED
for
a
drive
is
lit
continuously,
that
drive
is
faulty
and
must
be
replaced.
If
the
green
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED
is
flashing,
the
drive
is
being
accessed.
2.
If
the
server
will
be
configured
for
RAID
operation
using
a
ServeRAID
controller,
